Housekeeping Manager - Amsterdam

Are you a passionate professional with leadership skills and a keen eye for cleanliness and details? Are you the enthusiastic Housekeeping & Quality Manager that is capable of helping the current housekeeping team to excel? Then please join our team.

What will you be doing?  

As Housekeeping & Quality Manager, you act as a dynamic link, understanding that luxury lies in the details and that a strong relationship with other hotel departments is essential.

The current housekeeping team (partly in-house, partly outsourced) consists of supervisors, room attendants, public area staff,  turndown staff, minibar staff, housemen, and linen room staff.

This enables you to respond immediately to feedback from guests and colleagues. You create schedules that seamlessly integrate periodic tasks with daily operations while ensuring productivity remains high.
