You will be the first person members and guests interact with when they step into The Cannon, which means you set the tone for the entire experience. When our team needs coverage, you are the trusted person we call on to come in and keep things running. Whatever comes up that day, you handle it with care and a customer-first approach. This is a great fit for a student or someone early in their career looking for part-time work in an energetic, people-first environment. At The Cannon you will be surrounded by some of Houston's top companies and founders, with real exposure to customer experience, operations, events, and sales. What You'll Do Cover the front desk at Cannon locations across Houston, delivering a warm, professional hospitality experience to every member and guest who walks through the door. Field inquiries, manage conference room bookings, handle mail and deliveries, and keep operations running smoothly throughout your shift. Develop a working knowledge of membership benefits, pricing, and availability so you can assist members confidently and with care. Walk the floor regularly, maintain cleanliness and organisation, and ensure the space consistently reflects the standard The Cannon holds. Support the team across events, administrative tasks, and day-to-day operational needs. Travel between Cannon locations as needed to provide coverage as this is a multi-location support role. What We're Looking For Be a bright part of someone's day. A good morning, a smile, remembering someone's name, knowing that the small things make a real difference. Take pride in the space. If something needs attention, take care of it. You will notice things others walk past. Get to know the community. Learn who members are and what they are working on. That is what makes this more than just a front desk job. Be helpful and present. Show up on time, be someone members and the team can count on, and look for ways to make someone's day a little easier. Bring your ideas. If you notice an opportunity for improvement, we'd love to hear it. We value team members who bring fresh perspectives and attention to detail. A positive attitude, strong people skills, and a genuine interest in hospitality and customer experience go a long way here. Experience in a customer-facing role is a plus, but if this is your first one, even better. We love developing people who are excited to learn and committed to setting themselves up for success, both here at The Cannon and in their long-term career. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you! #J-18808-Ljbffr The Cannon Community
