Position Overview
The Guest Services Manager is a key member of the Museum of Illusions operations team who supports daily museum activities with an elevated level of responsibility. While this role is part of the Duty Manager team structure, it functions one level above assisting the General Manager with critical back end and floor operations, offering leadership support, and ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day experiences.
This role is primarily floor-based, providing real-time support to both guests and staff, and serving as a leadership presence during operational hours. The Guest Services Manager is not a direct supervisor over the Duty Managers but carries greater responsibility and leadership authority, acting as an extension of management in alignment with museum standards.

- Reinforce museum policies, procedures, and protocols on the floor.
- Assist the General Manager in executing strategic operational plans and improvement initiatives.
- Represent the museum professionally during events, field trips, and community partnerships as needed.
- Assist in executing field trips, special events, and influencer visits alongside Marketing and Sales.
- Oversee all FOH and retail inventory, including conducting full inventory counts on a regular basis.
- Assist placing orders for supplies and merchandise, maintaining inventory levels as needed. Track usage and stock trends in the smartshop with Duty Managers.
- Monitor and maintain the museum's maintenance at all levels including preventative maintenance.
