ABOUT THE ROLE

Polymarket is looking for an energetic, detail-oriented Receptionist to be the face of our office. You'll own the front desk experience — greeting guests, managing the daily external guest log, and coordinating with the CEO's EA, our on-site security detail, and building security to ensure everyone who walks through our doors is expected, welcomed, and properly vetted.

The ideal candidate loves helping others, thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, and brings a "no job too big or small" attitude. Thick skin, professionalism, and excellent communication skills are essential.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the front desk experience — greeting all visitors and ensuring they feel welcomed, informed, and directed to the right person or area
• Manage the external guest log daily, ensuring all visitors are pre-announced, logged, and cleared with the CEO's EA, leadership, security, and building management
• Coordinate guest access with on-site security for VIPs, trial workers, vendors, and candidates — ensuring IDs are checked and access procedures are followed
• Monitor Signal/Slack channels for front-desk inquiries and relay timely messages to internal stakeholders
• Support meeting and event setup, including directing guests, room readiness, and liaising with catering and facilities as needed
• Receive, sort, and distribute mail, deliveries, and packages; keep the reception and lobby area tidy and organized
• Provide light administrative support across teams when the front desk is covered
• Act as an extra set of eyes and ears on office security, flagging anything unusual and escalating appropriately

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years in a customer-facing role — receptionist, front desk, hospitality, retail, or office coordinator
• Experience in a tech company or startup environment strongly preferred; comfortable with ambiguity and constant change
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with executives, guests, and vendors
• High attention to detail — you notice the small things that make the front-of-house experience feel seamless
• Composure under pressure; able to manage competing demands and high-stress situations with a calm, friendly demeanor
• Confident using modern tools (Google Workspace, Slack, visitor management systems) and quick to learn new software
• Genuine service mindset and roll-up-your-sleeves attitude — no task is beneath you if it helps the team

BENEFITS

• Competitive salary & equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
• 401k match
• Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
