The Role

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who's eager to learn how a creative agency operates from the inside out. You are the face of our agency — the first person clients, guests, and new hires encounter — and you take that seriously. You'll split your time between supporting the CEO and keeping our office running smoothly, making you a central part of how MSQ & Big Spaceship functions every day.

You're a natural host. You remember names, you make people feel taken care of, and you keep things humming without anyone having to ask. If you're organized, self-motivated, and genuinely energized by taking care of the people around you, this role has a lot to offer — and a real path to grow with us.

• Help book travel — flights, hotels, ground transportation — and handle logistics as plans change
• Assist with special projects like client gifting, culture initiatives, and event coordination
• Handle sensitive information with absolute discretion — confidentiality is non-negotiable in this role

Office & Visitor Experience

• Serve as the first point of contact for all visitors — greet guests warmly, manage check-in, maintain the visitor log, and notify the right team members
• Keep the office environment clean, organized, and stocked throughout the day
• Sort and distribute mail and manage incoming and outgoing shipments
• Order and restock food, beverages, and office supplies for the kitchen and common areas

Requirements

• 1–2 years of experience in an office, administrative, or customer-facing role
• Based in NYC and able to commute to our office Tuesday – Thursday
• Exceptionally organized — you run a tight ship without making it feel that way
• A natural people person who lights up when taking care of others
• Self-starter who notices what needs to be done and does it before being asked
• Calm and professional under pressure, with a warm presence that puts people at ease
• Discretion and good judgment when handling sensitive information
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office

Benefits

The salary band for this role is $60,000 - $70,000.

Where a prospective new hire's base salary will fall within this band depends on several factors including their qualifications and experience, the skill level required in the role, market rates, and the salaries of existing crew members at Big Spaceship within the same role to maintain equity.
