Task Force Housekeeping Manager

Palisociety is a society of unique hotels and residences — Palihouse, Palihotel, Le Petit Pali, ARRIVE by Palisociety, and a growing collection of independently branded properties. Since our first hotel opened in Los Angeles in 2009, we've grown into a nationwide portfolio of neighborhood-centric hotels, restaurants, bars, and event spaces, earning recognition from Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, the New York Times, and more.

We consider our employees our greatest asset: structured training from day one, consistent feedback, and a clear path for growth. We develop our leaders from within, because the strongest hospitality companies are the ones that grow their own.

The Task Force Housekeeping Manager provides on-site leadership across a portfolio of hotels in the Southern California region, stepping in to lead housekeeping operations wherever a property needs onsite support. This role exists to close leadership gaps quickly and reliably, covering for absent Housekeeping Managers and Housekeeping Supervisors, leading teams through high-occupancy periods and special projects, while directing and standardizing cleanliness and service quality across the portfolio.

This position will be expected to support a variety of tasks, including cleaning and styling of guest rooms as needed.

• Step in as acting housekeeping leader at assigned properties whenever a Housekeeping Manager or Supervisor is out. You'll own the department on-site: staffing, scheduling, service recovery and directing the team, including peak periods like high occupancy, group check-ins, and check-outs, and renovations.

• Run daily housekeeping operations: assign and inspect rooms, manage room status and housekeeping boards across the PMS platforms in our portfolio, and work with front desk leadership to get rooms ready on time.

• Learn each property's SOPs, brand standards and local policies when you arrive, since every hotel is a little different. Then lead the team on cleanliness, safety and lost-and-found procedures.

• Serve as a certified Property Brand Ambassador, keeping cleanliness and service expectations consistent no matter which property you're supporting that day.

• Roll up your sleeves by cleaning and styling rooms as needed, and help each property's leadership with housekeeping admin priorities.

• Own onboarding and training for new housekeeping associates where there's no on-site trainer, and lead the rollout of new standards, brand initiatives and process changes, adapting your approach to each team's culture.

• Keep Corporate Operations and property leadership in the loop on scheduling, availability and how each assignment went, with recommendations for the property going forward.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

Required

• 2+ years in a hotel housekeeping leadership or supervisory role (e.g., Executive Housekeeper, Assistant Executive Housekeeper, Housekeeping Supervisor), ideally within a branded or multi-property environment.

• Demonstrated experience directing, training, and holding staff accountable, with the ability to lead a team you do not manage day-to-day.

• Strong working knowledge of housekeeping operations, standards, and inspection processes, including room status management within a major PMS (e.g., Opera, Mews); ability to learn additional systems quickly.

• Strong personal organization and time management, including tracking hours and assignments across multiple locations.

• Willingness to travel regularly among properties across the Southern California region.

• Flexible availability, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, with ability to respond to last-minute leadership coverage needs. Schedule will vary week to week based on property with an expectation of flexibility for urgent…
