Description
Summary:
Who We Are
White Lodging develops and operates a portfolio of award-winning premium hotels, rooftop bars, and restaurants in some of the country's most dynamic cities. We know that the hospitality business, like life, is about how you make people feel. That's where you come in. You'll help bring the virtue of hospitality to life while we create an environment that allows you to be your best self and grow.
We are hiring a Front Desk Manager to lead daily front office operations at one of our premium hotel properties. This is a hotel front office leadership role for an experienced hospitality professional who leads from the front — someone who coaches and develops front desk agents and supervisors, drives exceptional guest service, and brings operational excellence to every shift. If you're a Front Desk Manager, front office supervisor, guest services manager, or rooms operations leader looking for hotel management jobs with a growth-oriented company, White Lodging offers more career mobility and advancement opportunities than a single-property employer ever could. With multiple hotel properties in each market, your next promotion is always within reach.
Responsibilities:
What You'll Do
Lead all daily shift operations of the hotel Front Office department — managing front desk workflow, guest service standards, and team performance across every shift
Provide hands-on leadership, associate training, and shift flow management — coaching front desk agents and supervisors to consistently deliver exceptional hotel guest service
Create proactive hiring plans and actively participate in hourly associate interviews to build and maintain a high-performing front office team
Serve as a guest service ambassador for the hotel — modeling the highest standard of hospitality and ensuring all front desk associates do the same at every guest touchpoint
Perform hands-on front desk duties as needed while managing key operational responsibilities, including financial reporting, payroll processing, and associate scheduling
What You'll Bring
Prior hotel front office leadership or supervisory experience — preferred; experience at a branded hotel, upscale property, or premium hotel environment strongly preferred
A genuine passion for guest service and a positive, solutions-oriented attitude — you set the tone for your team and your guests on every shift
A proven commitment to developing and coaching hotel front desk associates — you create the environment your team needs to thrive, grow, and build long-term hospitality careers
Strong creative problem-solving skills with the ability to execute operational strategies and consistently deliver results in a fast-paced hotel front office environment
Familiarity with hotel property management systems (PMS) and front office operations software — experience with brand-specific systems a plus
