Hi Niru,

This role is somewhat similar to that of an admin in a company. As an office coordinator, you are responsible for managing various tasks such as handling guest visits, coordinating cab/transportation services, and organizing events within the office. The specific duties may vary depending on the industry you are working in, such as the hotel industry, IT/software sector, or consultancy services.

Please let me know if you need further clarification or information.

Hi Niru,

In addition to Parinda's responsibilities, you need to look after vendor management, cafeteria, housekeeping, courier details (both incoming and outgoing), and mainly handle the day-to-day filing work, which is crucial for the office coordinator role. You are also responsible for reporting and updating the day-to-day work to your seniors.

You must keep track of employees' attendance as and when HR may inquire at any time. Additionally, you need to monitor incoming and outgoing items and maintain a proper register.

I hope this information provides you with a better understanding of the office coordinator role. :-D
