During your hours, you will often be the first person clients speak with on the phone and the first person they meet when they arrive. You will also play a key role in estate-planning document-signing appointments, including assisting with the signing process and notarizing documents. Legal experience is helpful but not required. Experience in a professional office, medical office, financial services, real estate, hospitality, or another client-facing environment may also be a good fit. Responsibilities

• Excellent phone and in-person client service skills.
• Comfort using computers and learning new software.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a small team.
• Comfort working with older adults, families, and clients who may be dealing with stressful or emotional circumstances.
