Reception Manager City of London (Bank) | £45,000 | Permanent, Full-Time - Monday - Friday

A rare opportunity to lead front of house at a brand new, landmark corporate building in the heart of the City.

The Role

This is a lead-from-the-front position. You'll head up a team of receptionists in a prestigious corporate environment where every single guest — client, visitor or colleague — receives the VIP treatment as standard. You'll be on the desk, setting the tone, and visible to your team and your guests.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, motivate and develop a team of 6-8 receptionists, driving consistently five-star service delivery
  • Own the guest journey from arrival to departure, ensuring every interaction is polished, personal and memorable
  • Full meeting room management — bookings, set-ups, turnarounds and AV liaison
  • Coordinate and deliver on-site events, working closely with internal stakeholders
  • Manage rotas, training, standards and performance across the front of house team
  • Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and act as the face of the building
  • Continually look for opportunities to elevate and personalise the service offering

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
