You will combine business expertise and managerial experience to enhance the ability of your team and provide quality service.

On a daily basis you will be responsible for:

• Overseeing the day-to-day operations of the front desk and associated functions. Ensure adherence to established procedures for all related activities by all supervised functions and personnel.


• Providing business expertise and strategic perspective to identify, evaluate, develop and drive guest services, understanding that extraordinary service and business decisions are not mutually exclusive.


• Overseeing and participating in guest registration and check out.


• Managing, training, and scheduling the Front Office staff

Where You’ve Been:

We’re looking for someone who has worked in hotels for at least two years and has an additional two years in a hotel leadership position (Manager+). Being a people-person is a must as you’ll be working with others constantly. You'll have some experience in coaching, mentoring, and teambuilding.

When You’re Here:

Be prepared to accommodate varying schedules including nights, weekends and holidays. But wait, there’s a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility, we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, F&B discounts and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.
