• Brand Advocacy: Lead by example to ensure every guest touchpoint reflects the bold and playful Moxy identity.
• Problem Solving: Act quickly and effectively to resolve guest concerns, ensuring satisfaction and loyalty.
• Pre-Opening Support: Play a key role in system setup, SOP development, recruitment, and training as part of the hotel’s opening team.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as Front Office Manager or Assistant Manager in a fast-paced hotel (pre-opening a plus)
• Marriott experience or familiarity with Moxy brand preferred
• Strong leadership and people development skills
• Guest-focused mindset with a passion for delivering standout service
• Confident with systems and procedures, from PMS to payment and reporting
• Able to thrive in a fun, youthful, and energetic environment
• A hands-on, can-do attitude with a natural flair for hospitality

Why Join Us?

• Be part of the opening team for Europe’s flagship Moxy
