Job Overview:

CapCenter is seeking a professional, organized, and highly dependable Administrative Assistant / Front Desk professional to serve as a central point of contact for clients, employees, vendors, and visitors at our Richmond headquarters. This position plays an important role in supporting the daily operations of the office and ensuring clients receive a professional and seamless experience from the moment they enter our building.

The position requires sound judgment, attention to detail, discretion, strong communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. In addition to managing front desk operations, this individual supports mortgage closings, client and visitor coordination, incoming communications, mail and deliveries, payment and document handling, office operations, and administrative needs across multiple departments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, employees, vendors, and visitors, providing a professional and welcoming experience.
• Manage daily front desk operations and maintain consistent coverage during established business hours.
• Coordinate front desk activities associated with mortgage closings, including monitoring schedules, greeting clients, verifying required information, communicating arrivals, and preparing closing rooms.
• Manage incoming company telephone calls and appropriately route inquiries across departments while exercising discretion and sound judgment.
• Receive, safeguard, document, and appropriately route client payments, checks, documents, and other sensitive materials in accordance with established procedures.
• Coordinate client and vendor check pickups and communicate with Accounting, Settlement, and other internal teams as needed.
• Receive, sort, distribute, and process incoming and outgoing mail, packages, courier services, and deliveries.
• Coordinate with building management, service providers, delivery personnel, and vendors in support of day-to-day office operations.
• Maintain the lobby, closing rooms, conference rooms, café, and other client-facing areas to ensure they remain professional, organized, clean, and appropriately stocked.
• Monitor Outlook, Teams, closing schedules, and other company systems throughout the day and respond promptly to changing operational needs.
• Utilize company systems and technology to support front desk and client operations, including Outlook, Teams, closing systems, Microsoft Office applications and others.

The successful candidate must demonstrate a high level of professionalism, dependability, discretion, and attention to detail. This position requires the ability to independently manage competing priorities, follow established procedures, exercise sound judgment, communicate effectively with clients and employees at all levels of the organization, and recognize when matters require escalation.

• Comfortable learning and using multiple business systems and technology platforms.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Ability to work independently while effectively coordinating with multiple departments and team members.
• Ability to handle confidential client, employee, financial, and business information appropriately.
