Office Coordinator

Erise IP, a mid-sized law firm, is on a mission to find an experienced and professional Office Coordinator to join our growing, collaborative team. This position is located in Denver, Colorado and is an in-person position given the nature of the work to be accomplished. It is also a benefits eligible, 30 hours per week position which would enable our successful candidate to manage work and life demands, though this position may grow into a full-time position as the Denver office expands as anticipated.

If you have previous mid-sized or large firm or professional services firm experience, this position might be the breath of fresh air you're looking for in your next career move. In addition to being well organized and computer savvy, our ideal candidate will have great anticipatory skills to assist everyone at the firm before they realize they need help! In addition, our ideal candidate will have exemplary customer service skills in working with our internal and external clients.
