Reporting into the Front Office Manager, you will:

• Plan room assignments, room inventory, luggage drops, and amenity deliveries to make sure every guest’s room is available and set up to perfection in time for their check-in and arrival
• Communicate efficiently across departments – it takes co-ordinated and synchronised effort from front office, concierge, room service, housekeeping, engineering, and more to keep our room operations slick and timed just right

• A background understanding of hotel operations is essential to be successful in this role
• This will undoubtedly be a high pressure role, so an ability to stay calm and inspire confidence in others is needed, paired with the ability to pivot and problem solve when things inevitably go wrong on occasion
