Receptionist/Administrator - Early-Stage Incubator

We are seeking a professional, highly organized, and service-oriented Receptionist/Administrator to join our growing early-stage incubator community.

The ideal candidate brings a combination of administrative excellence, strong attention to detail, and an engaging personality. They enjoy helping others, take pride in creating positive experiences, and have a natural ability to make people feel comfortable and supported. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to play a meaningful role in fostering a vibrant, collaborative environment where entrepreneurs, researchers, and emerging companies can connect, grow, and succeed.

Essential Responsibilities

• Manage front desk and reception activities, ensuring tenants, visitors, and guests receive a positive and professional experience from the moment they arrive.
• Coordinate visitor access and registration.
• Triage requests from member companies and connect them to the appropriate resources.
• Support the onboarding and offboarding of tenant companies and help ensure smooth transitions.
• Prepare communications to the member community.
• Maintain the member portal and coordinate visitor, IT, and facilities requests.
• Coordinate with vendors, contractors, and service providers to support the day-to-day operation of the facility.
• Help maintain organized, well-stocked office, pantry, and shared community spaces.
• Manage incoming and outgoing mail, packages, deliveries, and shipments.

• Support AV and IT needs for meetings, presentations, and events.
• Provide administrative support to site leadership and assist with special projects and community initiatives.
• Assist in coordinating and executing programming events that foster a vibrant and collaborative community.
• Contribute to a culture of hospitality, collaboration, and exceptional service that enhances the experience of tenants, guests, and clients.
• Build positive relationships throughout the community and help create an environment where people feel connected, supported, and engaged.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required.
• Experience in administration, customer service, workplace operations, hospitality, community management, or a related field required; two or more years of relevant professional experience highly desired.
• Experience within a startup, incubator, accelerator, life sciences, research, higher education, or shared-workspace environment is strongly preferred.
• Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a calm, professional, and customer-focused approach.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and adapt in a fast-paced environment.
