Company Description
Owston Hotel is a new boutique hotel coming to Fremantle's West End, inspired by the warmth of a local Italian Locanda. Our focus is genuine hospitality, attention to detail, and creating a place that feels quietly special for both locals and visitors.
Role Description
We're looking for a Rooms Manager to help us bring Owston Hotel to life. Get hands-on and be involved with the opening - set up systems, help define service standards, and work closely with the broader team to get everything running smoothly.
Once open, you'll oversee the day-to-day operations of the hotel - from housekeeping to guest services. You'll be the calm, organised presence that keeps everything moving, ensuring each guest's stay feels personal.
What you'll be doing:
* Help design and implement operating procedures and guest service systems before opening
* Manage daily room operations, including housekeeping, guest services, and maintenance coordination
* Recruit, train, and support a small front-of-house team
* Maintain high standards of presentation across rooms and shared spaces
* Manage room inventory, bookings, and guest communications
* Work with the broader team to create a seamless guest experience between the hotel and our other hospitality venues
* Monitor feedback and continuously improve how we do things
About you
* You have experience in hotel management, and understand what great service feels like
* You're confident leading a small team and creating structure where there isn't much yet
* You're organised and don't mind rolling up your sleeves
* You have proficiency in budget management and cost control
* You have exceptional guest service and communication skills
* You're familiar with hotel systems and standards
* You're excited by the idea of being part of something from the beginning
Why join us
Owston Hotel is a small, independent project with a lot of heart. You'll be part of building something new, shaping the guest experience, team culture, and the standards we'll be known for.
If you value hospitality, care about detail, and want to be part of creating something distinct in Fremantle, we'd love to hear from you.
