Who We Are  We love what we do, and what we do is important  We believe that everyone should leave feeling better - this means not just our guests but also our teammates. Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new or had fun working that day. Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guests. We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole hotel. No one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can't create that special experience for our guests.  Your Mission

Should you decide to accept it... 

 Virgin businesses, starting with our illustrious founder, Sir Richard, are a roll-up-your-sleeves kind of place.  At Virgin Hotels, we are focused on the teammate experience, whether that is ensuring we have the best talent, focusing on training or just sharing the love at a team event.  Above all else, the Director of Front Office will be a culture carrier, working daily to ensure all Virgin Hotel teammates have a great experience at work every single day.  At Virgin Hotels, nothing is ever "usual" so not only do you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and get things done, but you have to be willing to have fun doing it.  We want the Virgin Hotels to be considered one of the best places to work in the hospitality industry and we need a Director of Front Office who can help us get there.   

We want someone who thinks outside the box.  Our Belief Statement starts with “We love what we do, and what we do is important.”  Every single teammate in our hotel is valued, and we expect our guests to feel the same way. This isn’t a walk in the park, but if you are passionate about people, share our quirky sense of humor, and are able to see beyond the traditional scope of checking in and out, then this just might be the right role for you.  We aim to deliver outstanding guest service to our guests and the team by offering timely, efficient, knowledgeable, warm and truly remarkable service. We achieve that magical environment by assisting our guests with their check-in & check-out process while engaging them with our personalized service. Enthusiastically, using our talents to sell our experience to our guests. Greeting each and every guest with an authentic and warm approach. Ensuring you are fully informed of hotel & city events to be a source of information for our guests. Using tact and creativity to handle each guest concern to make sure everyone leaves our hotel feeling better.
