Exceptional hospitality. Exceptional environment. Exceptional standards.

If you have built your career around delivering exceptional hospitality and take pride in getting every detail right, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

• We are looking for a polished, personable and naturally confident
• Corporate Hospitality Host to join the team at

Sidley Austin , one of the world's leading international law firms.

This is a premium corporate environment where expectations are high and standards are uncompromising.

Every client, visitor and colleague should experience the very best from the moment they arrive.

From the presentation of a meeting room and the quality of refreshments, to the way a guest is welcomed and an unexpected request is handled, everything matters .

We are looking for someone who understands that exceptional hospitality isn't simply about delivering a service. It's about creating an experience.

This isn't ordinary hospitality

You may have worked in a luxury hotel, premium corporate environment, leading law firm, financial institution, private members' club or another high-end hospitality setting.

Wherever you've worked, you'll understand the difference between good service and genuinely exceptional service .

You will be someone who

• Notices the detail before anyone else does.

• Can hold a conversation naturally and professionally with anyone.
• Remains composed when plans change or requests arrive at short notice.
• Does'nt wait to be told what needs doing.

• Managing hospitality bookings, stock, supplies and deliveries.
• Working closely with colleagues to ensure every meeting and event runs seamlessly.
• Supporting wider corporate hospitality and client-facing activities when required.
• Following food safety, health & safety and corporate procedures.
• Representing Sidley Austin professionally, discreetly and positively at every interaction.
