Looking to fill the position by July 31st or sooner.

The Guest Arrival and Service Manager is the face of arrival and the steward of the stay at Manor Vail Lodge, a full service condominium property of 140 residences across 6 buildings, steps from Vail Village. This role goes well beyond traditional bell service. It exists to anticipate and fulfill the needs of guests and owners from the moment they arrive through their departure, creating a seamless, personal, and memorable mountain experience.

The ideal person is equal parts host, concierge, and problem solver: someone who carries luggage with care, stocks a refrigerator before a family walks in, secures the hard to get dinner reservation, and remembers a returning owner by name. During lower volume periods, the Guest Arrival and Service Manager also supports front desk operations, making this a versatile, central role on the property.
