New York, United States Virgin Hotels New York Full time
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... 

You don’t need to have x-ray vision or know how to fly, but you do need superhuman people skills in order to be successful in this role.  Remember, we aren’t Human Resources, we are all about the People.  So, what is the difference between the two?  We want you to tell us your thoughts on this in your job application  Tell us a story about why we should speak to you as a candidate for the Director of People role at Virgin Hotels  Humor appreciated, quirkiness approved of.   

The 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 People will be a culture carrier, working daily to ensure the 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 People who can help us get there.
