Rooms Division Manager
We are looking for a dynamic Rooms Division Manager who is as passionate about the opportunities good revenue management can deliver as they are with taking pride and ownership of the guest experience. The role would suit someone who wants to provide high-quality experiences that are guest focused with a unique personal feel. A commercial mindset is also important to understand that both priorities (revenue and service) can work in harmony without compromise. If you enjoy delivering amazing hospitality, thrive in a fast-paced environment, are sales focused and value the contribution that coaching and mentoring a team can bring; then this opportunity will deliver in bucket fulls.
This role is full time and operates 5 out of 7 days. Some evenings and weekends are expected.
Priorities of the Role
- This is a senior role within the hotel and reports directly to the General Manager, with close working relationships alongside the Commercial Director and Central Reservations team.
- You will have full accountability for the Rooms department (Revenue, Reception & Housekeeping) and will need to balance the requirements for presence, guest interaction, and analytics to truly embrace and develop the business.
- A focus is expected on driving rate strategy, pricing, and packages that support the overall revenue goals across the hotel. Building a reputation for high-quality experiences that are valued by our guests who seek to return to relax in our beautiful surroundings.
- We expect you to be proud to be an ambassador for the business. To be a principle-led leader and to support your Managers to develop their teams to maximize their potential through genuine coaching, development, and training.
- You will need creative flair and drive to give the current business a competitive edge and to be able to fulfil a key role in the transformation of the hotel in line with the development investments being made.
- To fully meet the needs of this demanding role you will need to be prepared to independently grow and embrace change, to support the business's challenging and exciting growth plans.
