• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy, particularly when handling financial information.
• Ability to work independently and make sound decisions during overnight hours.
• Comfortable balancing guest interaction with computer-based and accounting responsibilities.
• Dependable, responsible, and able to maintain focus throughout an overnight shift.
• Previous hotel, Front Desk, Night Audit, or customer service experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right person.
• Must be available to work the overnight shift, including weekends and holidays. Night shift hours are fixed at 11:00 PM–7:00 AM.
