About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever thought about being the friendly first face that makes a lasting impression? As our new Receptionist in Sharjah’s Al Rolla district, you'll be at the very heart of our company — welcoming guests, keeping things running smoothly, and ensuring everyone who steps through our doors feels at home. With our business just taking off, there’s never been a better time to start your journey with us and help shape the culture from the ground up.
About the Company
We’re not your typical corporate outfit. As a newly established company in Sharjah, we’re building a close-knit team that values reliability, genuine warmth, and a dash of ambition. Our office in Al Rolla is buzzing with energy as we lay the foundation for something special. Here, everyone’s voice matters — whether you’re brainstorming new ideas over morning tea or celebrating small wins together. And, for the record, we believe laughter belongs in the workplace (almost as much as good coffee does).

- Managing the front desk: answering calls, handling emails, and directing inquiries to the right team members

- Maintaining a tidy, inviting reception area that reflects our fresh and professional vibe
- Supporting the team with ad hoc projects or urgent needs that pop up during the day
- Keeping your finger on the pulse of the office — if something needs doing, you’re already on it
What You’ll Bring

- Excellent communication skills in English (other languages are a plus!)
- A naturally professional and friendly demeanor — you enjoy helping people

Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience in a reception or administrative support role
- Familiarity with office equipment (printers, phone systems, etc.)

Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
