Director of Housekeeping

Great hotels run on great housekeeping. At the Marriott Colorado Springs, the Director of Housekeeping is the architect of that standard.

This is a leadership role in the fullest sense: you build teams, drive systems, own results, and carry the pride of a department that sits at the very heart of the guest experience. We are looking for a seasoned housekeeping leader who leads from the floor, develops people with intention, and holds the department to an uncompromising standard of cleanliness and service.

About the Role

As Director of Housekeeping, you will have full operational ownership of the Housekeeping Department, covering guest rooms, front and back of house, public areas, and laundry. You will set staffing strategy, lead quality inspections, manage budgets and supply controls, and partner with Engineering and Front Office to keep the property running at its best. This is an exempt, salaried position. Your schedule will vary based on business needs and property demands, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

• Overseeing supply and chemical controls, including proper storage, usage training, and budget compliance


• Maintaining all housekeeping offices, closets, and storage areas in a clean, organized, and professional condition at all times


• Leading and facilitating departmental meetings, training sessions, and performance reviews; ensuring all associates receive proper onboarding, ongoing education, and updated duty lists


• Managing records, logbooks, variance documentation, and reports accurately and in a timely manner


• Conducting regular property walk-throughs with the General Manager and Property Engineer to uphold facility standards


• Responding to guest concerns, internal requests, and special projects with urgency and professionalism


• Maintaining facility security integrity at all times and ensuring adherence to all safety programs


• Partnering with Front Office to manage room inventory, room status updates, and turn-around expectations


• Participating in corrective action meetings and preparing disciplinary documentation in accordance with company policy


• Performing other duties as assigned by the General Manager

What We’re Looking For

• A composed, solutions-oriented leader who sets expectations clearly and follows through consistently


• Someone who inspires accountability without micromanaging and builds teams that take ownership of their work


• An operator who is as comfortable on the floor as they are in a budget conversation


• A communicator who keeps Front Office, Engineering, and senior leadership informed and aligned


• A people developer who sees the potential in every associate and creates a culture where people want to stay and grow

Qualifications

• At least 7 years of progressive experience in a hotel or related hospitality field; OR a 2-year degree with 5+ years of experience; OR a 4-year degree with 3+ years of progressive experience
