Job description
Reports To: Executive Housekeeper, position is non-exempt WHO YOU ARE If there was a test assessing someone’s attention to detail, you would score at a genius level. You’ve embraced your perfectionist side, so it is quite natural for you to walk into a hotel and want to fluff every pillow you see, judge the level of cleanliness, or peek in closets to see how they organize their linen and cleaning supplies. You know hospital corners aren’t just for hospitals, and the prefect crease on a bed sheet makes you smile. It doesn’t matter where you are, you can’t help yourself from refolding the bathroom towels. You understand that housekeeping appreciation is every day, and not just a week in September. You thrive on the excitement that comes from turning a room during the 3pm check-in rush. You can’t walk a hallway without picking up loose items, and your pockets are always full when you get home from work. Of course, you always have a microfiber at the ready, but you cannot go anywhere without your favorite multi-tool, because who has five minutes to wait for an engineer? THE ROLE The Housekeeping Supervisor establishes and maintains the standard for the guest’s room experience during their visit to the hotel. As the leader of Housekeeping, you will oversee departmental planning, building a dynamic team that will consistently deliver outstanding service and first-in-class levels of cleanliness across all public areas and guest rooms. Though this is a management role, it is certainly not one in which you spend the entire day in the office doing paperwork.

The Housekeeping Supervisor reports to the Director of Rooms, working together on how to deliver remarkable service throughout all aspects of the department, including Guest Services. It is critical the person in this position possesses a diverse knowledge of the Rooms Division and is willing to dive into the day-to-day operation, while balancing and directing the long-term goals of the hotel.
