A little taste of your day-to-day

Every day is different, but you’ll mostly be:

• Kicking off truly memorable guest experiences with the warmest of welcomes
• Acknowledging IHG One Rewards members and returning guests in person or over the phone
• Taking, managing, and receiving payments for guest bookings
• Making the check-in and check-out process feel swift and seamless
• Staying one step of our guests’ needs to anticipate requests and offer tailored recommendations
• Being our guests’ trusted contact – helping with everything from bill issues to restaurant recommendations

What we need from you

• Communication skills - guests will need to come to you with concerns as well as compliments, so you’ll be easy to talk to 
• Your problem-solving skills will turn issues into opportunities so every guest leaves with great memories 
• Fluency in the local language - extra language skills would be great, but not essential 
• Literate and tech-savvy - you’ll need a good grasp of reading, writing, basic maths and computer skills
