About Brailsford & Dunlavey
Brailsford & Dunlavey (B&D) is a national planning, development, and program management advisory firm dedicated to bringing communities to life through the places where people live, learn, work, and play.

The Opportunity
We’re looking for an Office Services Coordinator to help keep our Washington, DC office running smoothly and create a positive experience for employees, visitors, and partners.
This is a highly varied role. One day you may be coordinating a team gathering or preparing for an office event; the next, you may be troubleshooting a meeting room issue, coordinating a shipment, working with building management, supporting a new employee’s first day, or helping a team member navigate a corporate-services request.
You’ll be a central resource for the office,. This opportunity could be a great fit for an early-career professional who wants to learn by doing, enjoys variety, and hasn't decided on a single career path yet. We’re looking for someone who is curious about how things work, takes initiative, and is excited to become the person others can count on to keep things moving.
This role is ideal for someone who likes variety, takes initiative, and doesn't need to be told exactly what to do at every step. You’ll have a broad scope of responsibility and plenty of opportunities to learn the business, build relationships, and take ownership of how the office operates.

Ensuring equipment, system access, business cards, supplies, and other materials are ready for new hires.

What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is organized and detail-oriented, but also comfortable figuring things out when the answer isn't immediately obvious. The strongest candidates will bring:
Adaptability & problem-solving: You can troubleshoot issues, adjust when priorities change, and find practical solutions when unexpected situations arise.
A self-directed work style: You’re proactive, comfortable working independently, and able to manage competing priorities without needing constant direction.
Strong coordination & organization: You can keep track of multiple details, deadlines, vendors, and logistics—especially when coordinating events, meetings, and employee gatherings.
Attention to detail: You understand that the small things matter, whether you're reviewing an invoice, coordinating a shipment, preparing for an event, or managing office documentation.
A personable approach: You enjoy working with people, build positive relationships naturally, and contribute to a welcoming and professional office environment.
Strong communication skills: You can communicate clearly and professionally with employees, leadership, vendors, building management, and regional teams.
Good judgment: You know when to handle something independently, when to ask questions, and when an issue needs to be escalated.
Learning agility: You’re comfortable learning new systems, tools, and processes and adapting as the needs of the office evolve.
2+ years of experience in office administration, office coordination, workplace services, or a similar role; experience in a professional services environment preferred.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; Microsoft Project is a plus.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including proofreading and professional correspondence.
Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Strong internal customer-service orientation.
What Makes This Role Different
Every day is different: You’ll work across office operations, employee experience, events, technology, facilities, and corporate services rather than focusing on one narrow administrative function.
You’ll have real ownership: This role requires someone who can see what needs to be done, figure out how to get it done, and keep things moving.
You’ll work across the organization: Build relationships with employees, leadership, HR, IT, regional offices, vendors, and property management.
You’ll shape the workplace experience: Your work directly influences how people experience the office, from their first day at B&D to the meetings, events, and everyday interactions that bring our culture to life.
