As Guest Service Manager, you’ll inspire a multiskilled team delivering across all guest-facing areas. While your background may be focused towards Front Office, F&B or Meetings & Events, your leadership will shape the whole Guest Service function, and you will receive full training to lead confidently across all front facing areas, giving you the experience you need to take the next step towards an Operations or Hotel Manager role.

• Monitor performance against KPIs, driving sales opportunities while effectively managing costs and resources.
• Take accountability for a guest service function and KPIs, as set out by the Hotel Manager
• Partner with other hotel departments to keep operations running smoothly and deliver seamless guest experiences.

• Strong understanding of hotel guest service KPIs including guest satisfaction, loyalty recognition, lead generation, beverage GP and problem handling
• Strong leadership and communication skills. You inspire and motivate, but aren’t afraid of tough conversations when needed.
• Keen to grow beyond your current area of expertise and develop skills across all areas of hotel operations.
