Job Description

As Guest Service Manager, you'll inspire a multiskilled team delivering across all guest-facing areas. While your background may be focused towards Front Office, F&B or Meetings & Events, your leadership will shape the whole Guest Service function, and you will receive full training to lead confidently across all front facing areas, giving you the experience you need to take the next step towards an Operations or Hotel Manager role.

This role reports directly to the Hotel Manager.

Responsibilities
  • Lead, coach, and inspire a multiskilled Guest Service team across Front Office, Food & Beverage, and Meetings & Events.
  • Drive service excellence across every guest interaction, from check in to dining.
  • Handle guest feedback and resolve issues quickly, turning challenges into positive outcomes.
  • Ensure compliance with safety, security, and operational standards across the hotel.
  • Monitor performance against KPIs, driving sales opportunities while effectively managing costs and resources.
  • Take accountability for a guest service function and KPIs, as set out by the Hotel Manager.
  • Partner with other hotel departments to keep operations running smoothly and deliver seamless guest experiences.

Full details of the role will be discussed with the shortlisted candidates.

Strong understanding of hotel guest service KPIs including guest satisfaction, loyalty recognition, lead generation, beverage GP and problem handling.

Strong leadership and communication skills.

Ability to inspire and motivate, but not afraid of tough conversations when needed.

Keen to grow beyond your current area of expertise and develop skills across all areas of hotel operations.
