**What will I be doing?**

To be a passionate host and highly collaborative member of the Guest Operations team, assisting the Front Office Team Leader and Guest Operations Manager in leading the department, developing a high performing guest operations team, and delivering brand-specific customer experiences (mainly in FO but also across Guest Operations as well as Food & Beverage):

- Come to work every day with a smile on your face

- Be willing to roll up your sleeves and help in other departments during busy periods and as required

- Plan and train new and existing FO and F&B Hosts on processes, products, systems and brand-specific guest service delivery as per guidance of the FO Team Leader and Guest Ops Manager
- Be a positive and very active contributor in meetings (e.g. Huddles) with the FO team to help achieve / maintain a high level of trust & engagement
- Volunteer to participate in company campaigns such as Travel with Purpose and become an outstanding Brand Ambassador
- Every 6 months, rotate to a new ‘Champion' area (e.g. Hilton Honors, CleanStay, rostering) - our supervisors are responsible for taking ownership of their specialist area and ensuring the hotel is meeting and exceeding expectations in relation to this
- Coach 2 - 4 guest experience team members, as assigned on a rotating six month schedule
- In regular (e.g., monthly) departmental leadership meetings, update HOD and/or Team Leader on the performance and progress of ‘coachees' and suggest development opportunities for them in the coming month
- On-board and supervise assigned ‘coachee' team members, ensuring execution of agreed development or performance improvement actions
- Demonstrate an awareness of guest priorities, anticipate needs, build rapport and resolve guest problems very quickly and in a brand-specific manner
- Close guest transactions in FO effectively, solicit feedback, and deliver a memorable brand-specific goodbye (Check out)
- Provide constructive suggestions/feedback to the GOM and FO Team Leader on products and processes
