Lead the welcome. Set the standard. Make every stay count.
We’re looking for an experienced Guest Services Manager (or strong Duty Manager ready to step up) to join our established and high-performing team at Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen Airport.
This is a hands-on leadership role at the heart of the hotel — perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys leading from the front, and takes real pride in delivering outstanding guest experiences.
At Valor Hospitality, we believe great hotels are built on great people. That means supporting our teams, trusting our leaders, and creating an environment where everyone can do their best work.
The role
As Guest Services Manager, you’ll be a visible leader on shift, setting the tone at the front desk and across the hotel. You’ll ensure brand standards are delivered consistently, guests feel genuinely welcomed, and the team is supported, coached, and motivated.
You’ll be comfortable running shifts, handling issues calmly and professionally, and stepping in wherever needed to keep the operation running smoothly.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading front desk operations and acting as Duty Manager when required
- Delivering warm, confident, and professional guest service at all times
- Handling guest feedback, issues, and complaints with care and confidence
- Supporting check-in and check-out, payments, and guest queries
- Mentoring and developing front office team members
- Managing rotas, payroll input, stock taking, and ordering
- Ensuring brand standards, cleanliness, and presentation are always on point
What you’ll bring
You’re an experienced hotel operator with strong front-of-house knowledge and a natural leadership style. You stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and know how to bring a team with you — even on the busiest days.
You’ll also bring:
- Previous experience as a Duty Manager, Guest Services Manager, or similar role
- Experience using Opera (preferred)
- Excellent communication and phone etiquette
- Strong customer service skills with a problem-solving mindset
- The ability to multitask and prioritise in a fast-moving environment
