W Insider

À propos du poste

W Melbourne is the rebel between the streets, taking its design cues from Australia’s cultural capital and providing the back-lane entrance keys to what’s New/Next in the city. Extending the laneway culture inside, 294 bold rooms and suites peel back the layers and revel in the city’s history. There are five electric and daring bars and restaurants within the hotel, plus over 800 square metres of ultra-modern event space. W Melbourne is set to be the place to see and be seen in.


Boldly coloring outside the lines of luxury, W turns the traditional notion of the extravagant hotel on its head. Our irreverent attitude and taste for excess redefine revelry for the modern jet set. Our guests have a lust for a life less ordinary that drives them to demand more, experience it all, and hit repeat.

 

We share our guests’ passions, providing insider access to what’s new and what’s next. Moderation is not in our vocabulary and we know that lust for life demands more, not less. W guests soak it in and live each day with a mantra: Detox. Retox. Repeat. If you’re ready to create the energetic W scene that is magnetic to everyday disruptors around the world, then we invite you to explore a career with W Hotels.


ROLE PURPOSE

Being a W Insider is all about uncovering the unexpected and making the impossible possible for the global jetsetters to the local experience seekers.

Our W Insider will rebelliously rewrite the rules, offering up back-lane access to immerse our guests in the Melbourne double shot culture. Uncovering the kind of experiences, you’d never find in a guidebook. They’ll be tapping into their relationships in the right places with the right people to provide exclusive access for the guests who want the latest and hottest in the city. They will keep in the know of what’s new/next, finding what’s special and making it happen. Whatever it takes. Creativity is their middle name and they’re passionate about working with the team to amplify all guest experience touchpoints, educating them along the way to become W Insiders, too. Being our W Insider, they’ll be an ambassador for the hotel, showcasing the W Hotels brand in Melbourne. 


Shortlisted candidates will then be invited for an audition in front of a judging panel, you’ll also be requested to create a video highlighting just how much of a W Insider you really are.
