Job Description

Who we are
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone's friendly and helps each other out? That's like Grant Thornton. Except here we're all professionals and there isn't a mayor or a general store. What we're trying to say is that we're a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 2500 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That's what's most important to us. We're building a thriving organization that's purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Receptionist your responsibilities will include:

• Receive and welcome clients/visitors into our office
• Answer and direct telephone inquiries
• Maintain and coordinate schedules for internal meeting space
• Order and monitor catering requirements for internal meetings
• Maintain cleanliness of kitchen and meeting rooms
• Receive, sort and distribute mail and couriers accordingly
• Prepare and schedule all outgoing couriers
• Assist with mail-outs
• General ad hoc administrative and accounting tasks
• Other administrative duties as required

Be Grant Thornton
If you're a bit like us, you're driven to connect with how others are feeling and thinking. Here we walk in others shoes before taking action. Just imagine being part of a team that puts "we before me", where flexAbility is a mindset, and where you trust your colleagues to have your back. At Grant Thornton, you'll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally. This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are. And when all this comes together, well that's when the magic happens!
