The Housekeeping Director will oversee the team responsible for maintaining housing units, resident rooms, bathrooms, common areas, and other residential spaces throughout the community. This leader will be responsible for staffing, scheduling, training, quality standards, room cleaning and turnover, inspections, supplies, safety, and overall housekeeping performance.

We are specifically looking for candidates with experience in hotels, resorts, cruise lines, hospitals, healthcare facilities, extended-stay properties, residential communities, or similar operations where bedrooms, bathrooms, and residential spaces must be cleaned and maintained to a consistent standard.

This is a high-volume operation where housing units must be cleaned regularly and prepared efficiently as residents arrive, depart, and move throughout the community. The successful candidate will know how to build strong housekeeping teams, establish clear cleaning standards, inspect work, manage productivity, and maintain a consistently clean and welcoming residential environment.

• Oversee routine room cleaning, deep cleaning, room turnover, inspections, and preparation of housing units for arriving residents.
• Monitor housekeeping productivity, room status, staffing levels, cleaning schedules, and service completion to meet changing occupancy needs.
• Conduct regular inspections and quality audits to ensure housing units and common areas consistently meet cleanliness and appearance standards.
• Manage housekeeping supplies, linens, chemicals, equipment, inventory levels, and appropriate product usage.
• Maintain appropriate safety, sanitation, infection prevention, chemical handling, and workplace safety standards throughout housekeeping operations.
• Partner closely with Guest Services, Facilities, Security, and other operational teams to coordinate room readiness, maintenance needs, resident concerns, and occupancy changes.
• Manage departmental labor, operating expenses, supply costs, and productivity while working within established budgets.
• Use performance data, resident feedback, inspections, and operational trends to identify opportunities to improve quality and efficiency.
• Build a service-focused housekeeping culture centered on cleanliness, accountability, teamwork, resident experience, and pride in the community.

At Aramark, developing new skills and doing what it takes to get the job done make a positive impact for our employees and our customers. In order to meet our commitments, job duties may change or new ones may be assigned without formal notice.

Qualifications

• Requires 3 to 5 years of housekeeping, environmental services, hospitality cleaning, or residential cleaning experience.
• Requires previous supervisory or management experience leading housekeeping, room attendants, EVS, or residential cleaning teams.
• Previous experience as a Housekeeping Director, Executive Housekeeper, Housekeeping Manager, EVS Manager, Environmental Services Manager, or similar leader is strongly preferred.
• Experience in a hotel, resort, cruise line, hospital, healthcare facility, extended-stay property, residential community, or other overnight-stay environment is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience managing room cleaning, room turnover, deep cleaning, inspections, and quality standards across a large number of residential or guest rooms.
