The Housekeeping Supervisor will be part of Yora's founding Housekeeping team. Working alongside the Housekeeping Manager, this role will help prepare and support the team responsible for creating the calm, clean and beautifully presented spaces that will welcome Yora Nordic Spa's first guests in November 2026. This role is anticipated to start in mid-October 2026.

The Housekeeping Supervisor brings the Yora guest journey to life, one space at a time.

• Recognize outstanding work while reinforcing accountability, teamwork and Yora's housekeeping standards.
• Partner with Maintenance and teams throughout the spa to address deficiencies and deliver a seamless guest experience.
• Support efficient labor deployment and responsible use of linens, supplies, chemicals and equipment.
• Identify opportunities to improve productivity, organization, presentation and guest comfort without compromising quality.
• Use inspections, guest feedback and operational observations to continuously improve daily performance.

• Strong organization, coaching, communication and problem‑solving skills.
• The ability to prioritize work in a fast‑paced environment while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
• A visible, approachable and hands‑on working style.
• A commitment to continuous improvement, teamwork and guest satisfaction.
