A housekeeping director oversees the housekeeping department in a hotel, resort, or another facility where cleanliness is of utmost importance. This role is sometimes also called the Director of Housekeeping or the Housekeeping Manager, but regardless of title, the job requires the same qualifications, duties, and responsibilities. As a housekeeping director, you hire and train staff, write schedules, manage inventory of housekeeping supplies, coordinate housekeeping needs for special events and day-to-day operations, and work directly with other housekeeping staff if the team is short-handed or to perform an inspection of the team's work. Providing excellent customer service is one of your main responsibilities in this role. Cleaning is also a small part of your job as a housekeeping director.
