Front Desk Coordinator

Advanced Canine Development (ACD) is seeking a bright, high-energy, and reliable Front Desk Coordinator to join our pack in Punta Gorda! If you love dogs, thrive on making people smile, and want a professional office role where you get to see happy, well-mannered pups every single day, this is the perfect job for you.

As our Front Desk Coordinator, you are the face and voice of ACD. You will be the first person our clients see when they walk in and the friendly voice they hear when they call. This is an entry-level position that combines essential administrative work with hands-on client and pup interaction.

• Daily Admin: Handle light data entry, organize daily paperwork, file documents, and assist with simple retail or inventory tracking.

• The Right Attitude: A friendly, positive, "can-do" personality is an absolute must. You must genuinely love working with both people and animals.
• Experience: 1–2 years of experience in a front desk, receptionist, retail, or customer service role is preferred, but we will train the right motivated individual.
