Hotel Manager

A Hotel Manager takes care of daily operations at a hotel or accommodation venue. You’ll supervise other departments including guest services, housekeeping and any bars or restaurants. Hotel Managers will ensure all safety, hygiene and compliance issues are adhered to and deal with any issues that arise. You might have to handle other duties such as budgets and finance or staff rostering and training.

Hotel Managers should be organised and able to handle several tasks at one time. It’s important that you make customer service a priority and are able to communicate well with staff and guests. Hotel Managers must be able to complete a range of administrative tasks and use their problem solving skills when required.
