- Ensure consistent delivery of brand standards across all guest touchpoints at assigned and supported properties.
- Manage guest pre-arrival communication, special requests, and in-stay follow-up.
- Manage reservations, room assignments, and inventory in Mews across all assigned properties.
- Review daily arrival and departure reports; flag irregularities and prepare properties accordingly.
- Process payments, manage billing records, and handle basic guest billing questions accurately and professionally.
- Maintain accurate reservation records and escalate discrepancies or system issues to central operations promptly.
- Oversee housekeeping operations and daily room turnover at both primary properties, coordinating schedules and setting priorities.
- Conduct regular room inspections against Weekender brand standards; document findings and follow up on any snags.
- Support and coach housekeeping staff; provide feedback and maintain quality and consistency across rooms and common areas.
- Identify and flag maintenance needs discovered during housekeeping or inspections; communicate to the maintenance team promptly.
- Manage supplies inventory across assigned properties; anticipate needs and initiate reorders before stock runs low.
- Place and track orders for housekeeping, guest amenity, and front desk supplies in line with approved vendors and budget guidelines.
- Review, code, and submit property-level invoices and billing for central accounting review; flag discrepancies as they arise.
- Maintain organized records of supply orders, vendor contacts, and recurring purchases.
- Execute opening and closing procedures at assigned properties; ensure each property is ready and presented well.
- Maintain common areas, lobbies, and exterior presentation to brand standards; address issues as they arise or escalate appropriately.
- Coordinate vendor and service provider access, scheduling, and follow-up for routine and ad hoc property needs.
- Support the maintenance team with property access, work order communication, and issue follow-through.
- Provide operational support at two additional SADK properties as needed, including coverage assistance, supplies coordination, and on-site presence during high-demand periods or staffing gaps.
- Participate in an on-call leadership rotation to ensure managerial coverage is available across all three properties outside of regular business hours.
- Act as a resource for guest inquiries, local recommendations, and issue resolution across all three SADK properties.
Requirements
- Prior experience in hotel front desk, guest services, or hospitality operations; supervisory experience preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to manage full daily operations independently, without a GM on-site — and a track record that shows it.
- Strong organizational skills; able to manage supplies, ordering, and billing accurately and consistently across multiple locations.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to engage professionally with guests, staff, and vendor contacts alike.
- Proficiency in property management systems; experience with Mews is a plus.
- Sound judgment and problem-solving ability; knows when to act and when to escalate, and does both with confidence.
