🎯 Role:
As the Stay Manager, you are the guardian of the guest experience on the ground of the guest journey. Based in Lisbon, where you will operate part-time from our local coworking hub, you act as the central point of coordination for our seasonal activity. Reporting directly to the Resort Manager, you orchestrate field teams and partners from your desk to ensure every property is flawless and every guest feels supported. This is a high-impact role focused on strategic oversight and real-time problem solving, ensuring that Le Collectionist’s signature excellence is delivered seamlessly across all our destinations.
✨Key Missions & Objectives
(80%) Guest Experience & On-site Operations
- The "Guardian of Quality": Supervise the welcome experience for every guest. You will manage more than 10 on-site providers to make sure everything is ready for the stays.
- Operational Execution: Oversee check-in/check-out flows and conduction of property audits to ensure our demanding standards are met.
- Crisis & Conflict Resolution: You are the lead point of contact for any on-site issues. You resolve technical or service challenges with speed and diplomacy, turning potential friction into a seamless stay.
- Asset Protection: Supervise property condition reports (Check-in & Check-out forms), manage sensitive discussions regarding security deposits and damages to coordinate discussions between owners and guests.
(20%) Coordination & Team Support
- Field Coordination: Supervise schedules of field teams and partners to ensure flawless property preparation.
- Internal Synergy: Act as the bridge between the Sales, Concierge, and Supply teams to ensure guest preferences are perfectly communicated and executed.
