With a strong focus on diversity and a mission-driven culture, GGRC fosters a respectful and responsive atmosphere that motivates employees to engage fully and meaningfully with their roles and colleagues.

The Front Desk Associate position at GGRC's San Francisco headquarters is a vital role that serves as the organization’s first point of contact for visitors and telephone inquiries. This role requires a highly professional individual who can manage a variety of front desk tasks, including greeting visitors warmly, answering and directing phone calls efficiently, and providing basic information regarding GGRC’s application processes. The Front Desk Associate helps maintain the overall appearance and organization of the reception area, ensuring that it remains welcoming and orderly at all times. Additionally, this position supports several administrative duties such as managing parking vouchers, visitor reports, and temporary badges, as well as assisting with mail sorting and conference room reservations.

The ideal candidate for this role is organized, dependable, and possesses strong communication skills alongside a professional demeanor. They should be technology proficient, particularly with Microsoft 365, and comfortable using phone systems like Zoom Phones (though familiarity with Zoom Phones is a plus and not mandatory).

The position offers a starting salary range between $37,672 and $45,207 and is suited for individuals who enjoy engaging with people, handling administrative challenges, and contributing to an inclusive and supportive workplace environment.

GGRC is proud to offer comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage with generous employer contributions. Employees also benefit from a 10% employer contribution to a 403(b) retirement plan and generous time off policies including vacation, sick days, holidays, and paid education days. GGRC fosters a culture that values and supports its employees, emphasizing the importance of personal and professional growth while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. This opportunity is perfect for candidates who want to work in a respectful, diverse, and mission-driven organization committed to making a difference in the lives of the people it serves.
