Operating in the vibrant hotel industry, our company prides itself on fostering a welcoming environment for both guests and employees alike. With a focus on quality and guest satisfaction, our establishment continues to grow and maintain a strong reputation in the local community and beyond.

We are currently seeking a highly motivated and experienced Assistant Front Office Manager to join our team.

Guest satisfaction is paramount, so the Assistant Front Office Manager will be expected to address any complaints and service recovery situations diplomatically. Organizing regular team meetings helps promote accountability, communication, and professional development within the team. Training, coaching, and mentoring staff members to improve their skills and performance are vital components of the role. The individual will also be responsible for maintaining attendance and performance standards, scheduling adequately to ensure coverage across all shifts, and understanding Night Audit procedures to perform overnight audit duties if needed.

Travel and participation in task force assignments for training or operational assistance may be required, demanding flexibility from the candidate. Maintaining a positive work atmosphere and fostering teamwork across departments is essential for seamless operations. Regular performance monitoring helps identify opportunities for continuous improvement in front office functions.

This position offers a competitive salary packaged with excellent benefits, including paid time off, health insurance, retirement plans, and opportunities for professional growth. Our commitment to equal employment opportunity ensures a diverse and inclusive workplace where all qualified applicants are welcome to apply.

Joining our team means becoming part of a dynamic environment where leadership, guest service excellence, and operational efficiency are valued and encouraged.
