About The Position

With our smooth check-ins, we build an experience that is memorable and unique. With our check-outs, we make transactions feel like part of that same seamless experience. Ambassadors take the initiative to deliver a wide range of services that guide guests through their entire stay. They are empowered to move about their space and do what needs to be done. Whether processing operational needs, addressing guest requests, completing reports, or sharing the highlights of the local area, the Ambassadors knows how to create and maintain the framework for the most memorable and unique guest experience.
No matter what position you are in, there are a few things that are critical to success – creating a safe work place, following company policies and procedures, maintaining confidentiality, protecting company assets, upholding quality standards, and ensuring your uniform, personal appearance, and communications are professional. Ambassadors will be on their feet and moving around (stand or walk for an extended time) and taking a hands-on approach to work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 50 pounds without assistance). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for Ambassadors – to get it right for our guests and our business each and every time.
