Your Mission?

Operational Support
- Support logistics, VIP room setups, and catering coordination for high-profile executive events and client visits.
- Manage access control, register visitor badges, log hazards, and actively contribute to the building’s safety culture.
- Handle high-priority deliveries, executive packages, and lost & found with complete discretion and care.
- Proactively spot, log, and follow up on building maintenance issues to ensure the physical space remains immaculate.
- Foster trust and positive relationships with clients, corporate occupants, external suppliers, and local premium vendors.
- Constantly seek ways to elevate local operations, modernising the guest experience through technology and tailored services.
What Success Looks Like?
- Taking full ownership of the lobby and concierge spaces, demonstrating proactive, "never say no" behaviours.
- Elevating standard transactional interactions into personalised, high-value customer experiences.
- Consistently meeting and exceeding KPIs for guest satisfaction, response times, and front-of-house standards.
- Prioritising self-development, championing safety initiatives, and actively embracing change in a fast-paced environment.
We’re Looking For?
- Fluency in written and spoken English with exceptional interpersonal and verbal communication skills. You must possess proactive problem-solving abilities, high IT literacy, and the capacity to prioritise effectively under pressure.
- A strong foundation in basic health & safety practices.
- A proven, stellar background in high-end hospitality, luxury concierge services, 5-star hotels, high-end retail, or "Big Tech" reception environments where the "Guest Journey" and premium touch points are paramount.
