Job description

As a company, we are driven by a commitment to exceptional service, innovation, and a deep respect for our guests and employees. Our rapid growth and dedication to redefining hospitality make us an exciting and dynamic place to work.

At Moxy Hotels, we do things differently. We’re bold, spirited, and never boring. From the moment our guests arrive, we bring the energy —mixing style with a playful twist to create a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. At Moxy Ottawa Downtown, we’re not just about numbers and ledgers; we’re about creating unforgettable experiences where fun meets function.

We’re looking for a Front Office Manager who can bring leadership, personality, and passion for people to the front desk. If you can balance smooth operations with genuine connections—and lead a crew that thrives on good vibes and guest satisfaction—you’ll fit right in.
