This role requires a hands-on leader who can inspire a diverse team and manage the complex operations of a world-class hotel.

Key Responsibilities

1. Operational Excellence & Daily Management :

  • Oversee the daily operations of key departments, primarily the Front Office (Reception, Concierge, Guest Relations), and often including Housekeeping, and sometimes Food & Beverage outlets.
  • Ensure all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are rigorously followed and consistently improved upon to meet Forbes Travel Guide, AAA Diamond, or brand-specific standards.
  • Manage room inventory, rate structuring, and allocation in close coordination with the Revenue Management team to maximize RevPAR and profitability.
  • Ensure all hotel facilities and services are maintained to the highest standard of quality and presentation.

2. Guest Experience & Service Quality :

  • Act as the ultimate ambassador for guest satisfaction, promptly and personally resolving escalated guest complaints and concerns with discretion and professionalism.
  • Proactively interact with guests, particularly VIPs and loyalty program members, to build rapport and ensure a personalized experience.
  • Monitor and analyze guest feedback from various platforms (TripAdvisor, Google Reviews, guest surveys) and implement effective corrective actions.
  • Champion a culture of anticipatory service and exceed guest expectations at every touchpoint.
  • 3. Leadership & Team Development :

  • Lead, mentor, and motivate a large, multi-cultural team of department heads and line-level employees.
  • Be responsible for recruitment, training, scheduling, performance appraisals, and career development plans for direct reports.
  • Foster a positive, collaborative, and high-performance work environment that encourages employee engagement and retention.
  • 4. Financial & Administrative Management :

  • Participate in the preparation and management of the annual departmental budgets.
  • Control labor costs, operational expenses, and inventory without compromising service quality.
  • Analyze operational data and financial reports to identify trends and implement strategies to achieve financial targets (GOP, flow-through).
  • 5. Safety, Security & Compliance :

  • Ensure full compliance with all local government regulations in Singapore, including but not limited to public health, safety, and employment laws.
  • Uphold and enforce all hotel security, fire safety, and emergency procedures.
  • Maintain impeccable standards of hygiene and sanitation across all operational areas.
  • Qualifications & Requirements

    1. Education :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Hotel Management, Hospitality, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • A diploma or degree from a renowned international hotel school (e.g., EHL, Cornell, Glion) is a significant advantage.
  • 2. Experience :

  • Minimum of 8-10 years of progressive experience in luxury hotels, with at least 5 years in a senior operational leadership role (e.g., Front Office Manager, Director of Rooms) within a recognized international 5-star hotel brand (e.g., Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Shangri-La, Capella, Ritz-Carlton).
  • Proven pre-opening experience is highly desirable.
  • Demonstrated experience in managing multi-cultural teams in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
  • 3. Technical Skills :

  • Expert-level proficiency in Property Management Systems (PMS), especially Opera Cloud.
  • Strong financial acumen with experience in budgeting, orecasting, and P&L management.
  • Advanced computer skills in MS Office Suite.
  • 4. Soft Skills & Personal Attributes :
