Location: Johannesburg, Gauteng
Job Type: Permanent
Department: HQ
Reference: GALX-REC-0825
GALXBOY is not just a clothing brand; it is a movement. Born from the underground, rebellious youth culture of South Africa’s urban hubs, we have grown into a leading national streetwear label. Our foundation is built on ambition, collaboration, and persistence. We are known for bold designs and deep cultural relevance, representing a new generation of South Africans who embrace their identity with confidence and style. We are currently looking for a Receptionist to join our Headquarters in Johannesburg. This is not just an administrative role—it is a brand ambassadorship.
Job Overview: More Than a Front Desk
As the first point of contact for the organization, the Receptionist acts as the critical link between GALXBOY and the world. We are searching for a polished, organized, and energetic professional to manage our front desk operations. In this role, you will be responsible for welcoming visitors with professionalism and warmth, providing high-level administrative support, and ensuring the smooth coordination of communication and office procedures. You will uphold the premium image of the GALXBOY brand while maintaining front desk security and risk control protocols.
Key Responsibilities
Front Desk & Guest Experience
You will serve as the face of GALXBOY, ensuring that every guest—whether a creative partner, a potential hire, or a corporate visitor—has a positive, professional, and friendly experience upon arrival. You will manage the visitor experience from the moment they walk through the door, directing them to the appropriate person or department while maintaining a neat, presentable, and branded reception area.
Brand Representation
As a brand ambassador, you will represent the values and image of GALXBOY in every interaction. This role requires a pleasant demeanor and strict adherence to a professional dress code suitable for a front-facing customer service position. All communication—verbal, written, or non-verbal—must reflect the confidence and style of our label.
Call Handling & Communication
You will be responsible for managing the company’s communication hub. This includes answering, screening, and forwarding incoming phone calls promptly and professionally. You will take accurate messages and ensure they reach the correct team members timeously, providing basic and accurate information to callers and walk-ins both in person and via email.
Administrative Support
Beyond the front desk, this role involves performing general administrative tasks with a high degree of accuracy. You will assist with typing documents, proofreading, photocopying, filing, and scanning. You will support various departments by drafting professional correspondence and ensuring internal communication is handled with quick turnaround times and meticulous attention to detail.
Mail, Deliveries & Office Management
You will manage the flow of goods and information by receiving, sorting, and distributing daily mail, packages, and courier deliveries. You will maintain logs of incoming and outgoing shipments and monitor front office supplies, placing orders as needed to ensure the office never runs out of essential consumables.
Calendar & Travel Coordination
The Receptionist will schedule and update appointments, meetings, and events in office calendars. You will also assist with making travel and accommodation arrangements, including the preparation of travel vouchers when required for team members.
Security & Access Control
You will play a key role in office security by controlling front desk access through visitor logbooks and the issuing of visitor badges. Adherence to health, safety, and security procedures is mandatory, and you will be expected to report any irregular or suspicious activity to management immediately.
Expense & Record Management
You will maintain updated records of front-office-related expenses and submit them to the finance team weekly. Accuracy in basic record-keeping for office operations is essential to the success of this role.
Multitasking & Stress Management
The ideal candidate must be able to remain calm, organized, and efficient in a busy and fast-paced office environment. You will need to prioritize tasks effectively to ensure all duties are completed accurately and on time, even under pressure.
Skills & Personal Attributes
To succeed in this role, you must possess a combination of administrative experience and a personality that aligns with the dynamic energy of the streetwear industry.
· Education: Grade 12 / Matric is required. A diploma or certificate in Office Administration or a related field is an advantage.
· Experience: A minimum of 2 years’ experience in a receptionist or front-desk role is essential.
