Company Description
The Hoxton is gearing up to open its very first hotel in Ireland in the beautiful capital city of Dublin. This coastal city is steeped in history, packed with green parks and brought to life through music, art and the best social eating and drinking. We’ll be calling central Dublin home but first we need to pull together a team to help us bring the Hox to this new market.
The Hoxton, Dublin will be home to 129 bedrooms of varying sizes, a lobby bar, historic bar, large ground floor restaurant and lobby restaurant, in addition to another first for us - a nightclub.
The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
Job Description
What you’ll do…
- Creating a memorable guest experience for our guests that will leave them wanting to return for more.
- Be the eyes and ears for the Front Office by leading by example and coaching and developing them to feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions.
- Supporting the Duty Managers and working closely with the Hoxton teams in setting selling strategies and ensuring maximum occupancy.
- And everything else in between from compliance to departmental budgeting to relationship building with the wider heads of department and Hoxton team’s.
Qualifications
What we’re looking for…
- Most important is that you know how to provide a great and memorable guest experience – whether it’s for someone staying with us or just stepping in for a drink or a bite to eat.
- Previous experience in hospitality in a Front Office Manager role is an advantage but not a must.
- Passionate about team development and a demonstrated experience in coaching and developing your team.
- You’ve got plenty of experience dealing with different types of requests successfully.
- Experience with using Micros Fidelio Opera or a similar property management system.

- Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
- You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
- You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get stuff done.
- You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
- If we got stuck in a lift together we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
- You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.
