Our mission is to create inspiring hospitality experiences through genuine human connections and spaces that bring people together. We believe great hospitality starts with people, which is why we look for individuals who are collaborative, authentic, adaptable, and passionate about creating memorable experiences. At Canaan Hub, every team member is more than an employee - they are a host, a connector, and an ambassador of our community.

About the Role

As a Front Desk Host, you will be the main point of contact for our hotel guests, coliving residents, and coworking members during day and afternoon shifts.

Working closely with our Front Office Manager and Community Manager, you will handle daily arrivals, guest inquiries, room bookings, and front desk operations. You will ensure smooth day-to-day operations while delivering genuine, high-quality service to a diverse, international community.

  • Maintain clear operational communication and smooth shift handovers with Housekeeping, Maintenance, and the Night Auditor.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Experience & Attitude: Previous experience in Front Office/Reception is a plus, but attitude, energy, and alignment with Canaan Hub’s concept are what matter most! Open to junior candidates with strong interpersonal skills and a desire to learn.

• Languages: Fluency in English and Portuguese is mandatory. Working knowledge of French or Spanish is a strong advantage.
