Receptionist

We're opening in San Francisco. We're hiring the person who will be the first face of it.

At Shegerian & Associates, California's premier plaintiff-side employment law firm, every detail matters. That starts the moment someone walks through our door or calls our front desk. As the Legal Receptionist for our new San Francisco office, you're not just managing a front desk. You're setting the tone for a firm that has recovered over $1 billion for people who needed someone in their corner.

This is a rare chance to get in at the start. You'll help build this office from day one, and how you handle that front desk will shape what our San Francisco clients believe about us before they ever meet an attorney.

We're looking for someone polished, warm, and exceptionally sharp. Someone who takes pride in doing the small things perfectly, because here, the small things are anything but small.

What You'll Do

• Be the first face and voice of the firm, greeting clients and visitors with professionalism and genuine warmth
• Manage a multi-line phone system and route calls with speed and accuracy
• Schedule, reschedule, and track appointments, keeping the calendar tight and the team on track
• Collect and summarize key details from potential new clients to support the intake process
• Respond to emails promptly and professionally
• Upload, organize, and manage documents with precision
