This position is located at Ingram Micro's sales headquarters in downtown Buffalo, NY, and requires a full-time commitment with onsite work five days per week. The Receptionist role is crucial in supporting the safety and security efforts of the corporate office. Acting as the first point of contact for visitors and staff, the Receptionist works closely with the Security Professional to ensure that all access to the facility is properly managed and that safety protocols are diligently followed.

As a member of the emergency response team, the Receptionist participates in monthly meetings focused on office safety and security and collaborates with facilities leaders to organize and conduct fire drills and other safety procedures.

This role is ideal for individuals with prior experience in a corporate office environment who possess a keen attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to maintaining a secure workplace.
