Salary
$60,768.00 - $73,872.00 Annually
Description

The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) is seeking a Receptionist/Administrative Assistant I to provide daily front desk coverage, administrative support, and onsite office coordination for a staff of approximately 60. This full-time, in-office role serves as a welcoming first point of contact for employees and visitors, while helping keep the office organized, responsive, and running smoothly.

While SACOG operates in a hybrid work environment, this position is intentionally designed as an onsite role and is not eligible for regular remote work because it provides daily front office coverage, in-person support, and meeting room assistance. This position is a good fit for someone who enjoys being the “go-to” person, helping others throughout the day, following through on routine responsibilities, and supporting a workplace where no two days are exactly the same.

If you are organized, approachable, service-oriented, and enjoy helping others succeed, we encourage you to apply.  

The Position

The Receptionist supports the daily operations of SACOG’s office by greeting visitors, responding to calls and inquiries, assisting with correspondence and records, maintaining office supplies and shared spaces, supporting meetings and events, coordinating with building management, and helping staff use office and meeting room technology.

The position is full-time, onsite, and works Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
