Overview
Are you a recent school or university leaver with experience in hospitality, hotels, restaurants or reception, ready to step into your first corporate role? Do you thrive in fast-paced, high-end environments where no two moments are the same? This is a rare opportunity to join a prestigious investment firm in the heart of Pall Mall, offering stunning, modern offices, a highly social culture, and a genuine commitment to charitable initiatives.
The Opportunity
This is a dynamic, dual-function role blending front-of-house reception with hands-on hospitality support. You’ll be the face of the business while also ensuring the office runs seamlessly behind the scenes. Perfect for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in presentation, and is happy to roll up their sleeves.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver a warm, polished, five-star welcome to clients, guests, and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals
- Manage the front desk with professionalism, efficiency, and confidence
- Coordinate meeting room bookings and ensure spaces are impeccably presented at all times
- Prepare and set up refreshment stations, working lunches, and buffet-style catering
- Assist with external catering deliveries and high-end client events
- Maintain and run a pristine kitchenette – restocking, organising, and ensuring high standards throughout the day
- Handle incoming calls, couriers, and general office coordination
- Support the wider team with ad hoc administrative and hospitality tasks
About You
- Background in hospitality, hotels, restaurants, or a customer-facing role
- Energetic, proactive, and happy to take ownership of both front and back-of-house duties
- Impeccable presentation and communication skills
- A “no task too small” mindset – equally comfortable greeting VIPs or unloading the dishwasher
- Keen to build a long-term career within a corporate environment
The Culture
You’ll be joining a collaborative, high-performing team where hard work is recognised and rewarded. The environment is focused and ambitious during the day, but genuinely social, inclusive, and engaging outside of core hours. With a strong charitable ethos and regular team initiatives, this is a place where culture truly matters. If you’re looking to transition your hospitality experience into a corporate setting where you can grow, learn, and be part of something exciting, this could be the perfect first step in your career.
