Job description

What You’ll Do:

You will be at the center of the hotel's universe - the front office. You will have an opportunity to stretch your leadership muscles: as the front desk team leader, you’ll be responsible for ensuring effective collaboration and teamwork among front desk staff. In addition, you'll get a glimpse of the business side of the front office: staffing, scheduling, and expense management are all also vital pieces of your development and growth as a leader.

Here are a few other tasks you’ll be responsible for on a daily basis:

  •  Our fast-paced environment requires that you communicate clearly and demonstrate a high level of professionalism
  • Providing training and guidance for front desk staff on hotel standard operating procedures and departmental standards.
  • Stepping in to complete daily hotel front desk tasks.
  • Assisting Guest Services Manager with monitoring performance and attendance.
  • Balancing daily paperwork: Cash drawer, deposits, reconciling credit cards and submitting batches.

Where You’ve Been:

We’re looking for someone with a High School diploma (or equivalent) and one to three years of related experience. No wallflowers wanted—you must be able to contribute to a collaborative and diverse team dynamic while quickly assessing situations and creating effective resolutions to problems. A passion for customer service is an absolute must.

When You’re Here:

Sometimes you’ll be behind a desk—but also be prepared to move around because more than half of the time you will be standing/sitting, carrying/lifting up to 50 pounds, walking, bending/twisting, climbing stairs and more. You also must be able 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.
