You'll balance great hospitality with strong commercial thinking, owning the rooms operation while building engaged teams that deliver exceptional experiences, every day.

Lots of opportunity to progress and switch it up as part of a global family of brands Training to get you settled into your role, learning academies to broaden your skillset and development that helps you think, make and thrive at work Extra time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities Regular team get togethers, from our team drinks to our (pretty special!) bi-annual parties – we know how to have a good time!

Be a visible, hands-on leader who spends time with the team, coaches in the moment and isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed. Own the Rooms operation, balancing exceptional guest experiences with strong commercial performance, labour control and profitability. Take ownership of the Rooms P&L, helping shape budgets and making smart commercial decisions that keep the business performing. Champion quality across the hotel, constantly looking for ways to raise standards and improve the guest journey. Lead capital expenditure projects for your departments, making sure they're delivered smoothly and with minimal disruption to guests and the team. Solve problems before they become problems, empowering your managers while stepping in when it matters most.

Qualifications What we’re looking for… You're a people first leader who gets the best out of others through coaching, trust and leading by example. You're as comfortable walking the floors as you are reviewing budgets and performance reports. You know great operations happen by being present. You understand the commercial side of hospitality and know how to balance guest experience, labour, costs and profit without losing sight of the people behind the numbers. You genuinely care about creating memorable experiences for both guests and your team. You're curious and always looking for ways to make things better rather than settling for "that's how we've always done it." You stay calm under pressure, make good decisions and aren't afraid to jump in when the operation needs you. You're collaborative, approachable and build strong relationships across every department. You have experience leading Rooms operations in a similar lifestyle hotel environment. You're confident using Microsoft Office suite, Opera (or other PMS systems), KnowCross, Fourth Hospitality (or other Payroll and scheduling systems) and other hotel systems. You're organised, commercially aware and able to switch between the bigger picture and the day-to-day detail without missing a beat. Most importantly, you're someone we'd genuinely enjoy working alongside. You work hard, don't take yourself too seriously, leave your ego at the door and know how to bring good energy to the team.
