Corporate Receptionist

Harris & Company LLP (Harris) is one of the largest employer-side workplace law and advocacy firms in Western Canada. Our clients rely on us because we understand their business as well as the law.

Our Office Services team is the hub of the office, and we’re hiring a Corporate Receptionist to be the first point of contact for our clients, visitors, and staff. If you are warm, polished, organized, and naturally notice what needs to be done, we’d like to hear from you.

You’ll join our Office Services team in a highly visible, client-facing role. You’ll keep reception running smoothly, make sure meeting spaces are ready, coordinate day-to-day front-office needs, and help create the professional and welcoming experience people expect when they come to Harris.

What you'll own

• Client and visitor experience: Greet clients, guests, and staff warmly and professionally and make sure everyone arriving at the firm is looked after. 

• Phones and communication: Answer, screen, and direct incoming calls promptly and confidently, using good judgment when handling questions or sensitive information. 

• Meeting rooms: Manage boardroom and meeting room bookings and coordinate room setup, catering, and technology needs so meetings are ready to go. 

• Reception and office presentation: Keep the reception area and shared client spaces tidy, organized, and reflective of the firm’s professional image. 

• Mail and couriers: Receive, sort, and distribute mail, courier deliveries, and other incoming correspondence accurately and efficiently. 

• Office coordination: Work with building management, vendors, and service providers and help resolve day-to-day office issues before they become bigger problems. 

• Team support: Provide administrative support to legal assistants and other departments and assist with internal and client events as needed. 
• Improvement: Look for practical ways to make reception and front-office processes smoother and more efficient, and speak up when you see an opportunity to improve something. 

What you bring

• Reception, front desk, or client-service experience, ideally in a professional environment.
• Strong communication skills and a polished, professional approach.
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, and ability to manage competing priorities.
• A proactive, calm approach with strong judgment and discretion.
• Warm, professional client-service skills.
• Proficiency with Outlook, Word, Excel, and Teams.
• A flexible, team-first mindset and willingness to help where needed.

How we work: This is an in-office role because reception is an on-site function and a key part of the client and employee experience. Office Services works closely as a team, and responsibilities are shared when priorities shift or extra support is needed.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive health benefits for you and your family

• RRSP matching program. 

• Health, Wellness and Transportation Subsidy for your unique needs. 

• Long service bonuses and generous paid time off (including 5 personal days).
