Volta is growing!

Join our team as an Office Coordinator!

At Volta, we care about entrepreneurs. We are passionate about our mission – to build a community where entrepreneurs can gather together, learn from each other, grow their companies and expand to global markets.

When growing our team, we seek out individuals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives who value innovative thinking, working cooperatively and who don’t think twice when it comes to rolling up their sleeves to get the job done! The best part? At Volta, no two days are alike — change is the status quo.

More on the Office Coordinator role:

Reporting to the Director, Culture & Strategic Initiatives, the Office Coordinator combines front-and-centre responsibilities with important behind-the-scenes work, and plays a crucial role in the Volta experience. This full-time position is responsible for welcoming our visitors and supporting staff and entrepreneur clients.

This role is ideal for you if you’re energized at the thought of being the first point of contact at reception, for anyone entering the Volta offices. Your friendly nature, can-do attitude and your ability to act on the little details that make a big difference helps you foster a strong connection with our entrepreneurs and your colleagues on the Volta team.   You thrive in a job with many moving parts, and you are proactive, organized and always eager to learn a new way of getting things done!  A versatile team player, you’re keen to coordinate general maintenance to help maintain a clean and welcoming workspace… and you aren’t afraid to grab the office screwdriver to address a quick-and-easy repair.  Efficiency is your middle name – you can easily prioritize multiple competing priorities, while maintaining a calm, cool and collected demeanor. You always go with the flow.  You don’t focus on problems… you naturally see opportunities!

• Promote a welcoming, respectful, friendly and inclusive environment
