• Ensure all housekeeping standards, procedures, and brand expectations are consistently met or exceeded. 
• Maintain tight control over room readiness, turnaround times, and inspection outcomes. 
• Lead operations with precision, ensuring quality is never compromised, even in a fast-paced environment. 

Performance Management & KPIs 

• Monitor and analyze departmental KPIs, including productivity, labour efficiency, inspection scores, guest feedback, and service recovery metrics. 
• Use factual data and operational insights to identify gaps, risks, and improvement opportunities. 
• Implement corrective actions quickly and decisively within established policies and guidelines. 
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, sanitation, and regulatory requirements. 

People Leadership & Accountability

Guest Experience & Service Recovery 

• Respond to guest concerns with professionalism, empathy, and timely resolution. 
• Ensure service recovery actions align with Rimrock standards and reinforce guest trust and loyalty. 
• Partner closely with Front Office to manage room readiness, priorities, and guest expectations. 
• Ensure communication around room status is accurate, timely, and precise. 

Cross-Department Collaboration 

• Work closely with Engineering to identify, report, and resolve maintenance or safety concerns impacting guest experience. 
• Partner with Front Office and Operations leaders to ensure seamless coordination during peak periods. 
• Participate in operational planning, audits, and inspections as required.

• Maintain accurate documentation, SOPs, and training materials to support consistency and compliance. 

What You Bring

• Strong technical understanding of housekeeping standards, inspections, and quality control. 
• Highly detail-oriented, disciplined, and conscientious approach to operations. 
• Ability to make authoritative decisions quickly within defined guidelines.

• Strong training and coaching capability for developing technical expertise in others. 
• Experience working in a resort or complex, multi-outlet property. 

Who You Are 

You are serious, diligent, and precise. You lead with authority grounded in expertise, not charisma. You care deeply about accuracy, consistency, and doing things the right way — not the fast way. 

You thrive in environments where expectations are clear, standards are high, and accountability matters. Delegation doesn’t mean letting go — it means ensuring others are equipped, trained, and supported to deliver quality work that meets scrutiny. 

Your leadership builds trust through reliability, discipline, and results. Quietly, consistently, you ensure the operation runs exactly as it should. 

Lead with precision. Deliver with purpose. Stay moved.
