Concierge Manager
Exceptional Hospitality Starts with You
Picture yourself brightening someone’s day. When you join our Hotels team, that’s exactly what you’ll do every time you come to work! As a Concierge Manager, you’re not just overseeing the daily operations of the concierge desk – you’re spreading the light and warmth of hospitality by delivering memorable experiences that make the stay for every guest.
As Concierge Manager, you will lead the Concierge Team and drive the day-to-day operation of the Concierge, lobby and guest logistics. This is a hands-on, floor-based operations leadership role: the Concierge Manager is expected to be present, mobile and visible across the lobby rather than stationed at the desk. The Concierge Manager is responsible for managing the first impressions of our Guests and, therefore, must perform the following tasks to the highest standards:
Lead and manage daily Concierge operations hands-on, maintaining an active, visible presence in the lobby and on the floor rather than remaining fixed at the desk
Deliver and uphold Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star service standards across all Concierge and Guest Services touchpoints, ensuring every interaction meets or exceeds the Forbes evaluation criteria
Own the arrival and departure experience end to end – curbside welcome, luggage handling, rooming and farewell – ensuring each stage is executed in line with Forbes 5-Star standards
Train, audit and coach the team against Forbes standards, conducting regular self-assessments and service audits of the arrival, departure and Guest Services areas, and closing gaps ahead of evaluations
Set Departmental objectives, work schedules, budgets, policies and procedures
Monitor the appearance, standards and performance of the Concierge Team Members with an emphasis on training and teamwork
Ensure Team Members have current knowledge of hotel products, services, pricing and policies as well as a good knowledge of the local area
Direct lobby operations and guest logistics – arrivals, departures, luggage movement, transportation and deliveries – coordinating on the ground with housekeeping, maintenance, front desk, security and valet to ensure seamless service delivery and guest satisfaction.
Handle any issues or complaints that arise during a guest's stay with professionalism and efficiency, resolving them on the spot on the floor wherever possible.
Monitor Guest satisfaction reports and implement actions to improve results
Maintain good communication and working relationships with all hotel areas
Manage queues and peak-period traffic in the lobby and at the Concierge desk, anticipating arrival and departure flows and repositioning Team Members proactively to minimise Guest waiting times
Act in accordance with policies and procedures when working with front of house equipment and property management systems
Continuously seeking feedback from guests and monitoring industry trends to identify areas for improvement in service delivery and guest satisfaction.
Attend Front of House/Hotel meetings, as required
