Job Description:

The Cumberland

The Cumberland draws inspiration from the capital’s love of contemporary music, with a harmonious fusion of comfort and service. In a prime position between Oxford Street and Marble Arch, yet just yards from the oasis of Hyde Park, it’s the perfect base for a rocking time in London. You’ll be close to famous shopping districts, museums and historic landmarks, while a London Underground station is just around the corner, making further exploration a breeze. With 1019 rooms, bars, a restaurant, meeting rooms and all-modern, accessible facilities, The Cumberland is the perfect destination for leisure and business travellers. Looking for an authentic music hotel experience? The Cumberland invites everyone to the best show in town!

What you’ll be doing

As Reception Manager, you’ll lead by example, providing excellent guest service and a smooth, efficient check-in/check-out process. Your proactive approach will be key in resolving guest queries and ensuring each interaction reflects our commitment to exceptional hospitality. Beyond guest service, you’ll focus on enhancing team performance through recruiting, training, and ongoing development, helping each team member reach their full potential. Additionally, this role involves a sales component, so you’ll be comfortable driving sales at the desk and empowering your team to do the same.

What you’ll bring

• Creative, inspiring leadership that motivates and guides the team to deliver exceptional service
• A keen eye for detail to ensure the highest standards at all times
• A deep passion for hospitality and guest satisfaction
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to connect naturally with guests and team members
• Analytical skills for problem-solving and sales strategy
• Knowledge of Opera is beneficial but not essential
