Job Description
At Hotel Indigo, we welcome all guests into our neighbourhood and share our love for the place we call home. We inspire them to explore and discover different perspectives, so every one of them can create new stories of their own.
Later this year, Auckland will welcome New Zealand’s first Hotel Indigo to the neighbourhood. The “City of Sails” will set the backdrop for this boutique upper-upscale hotel, drawing inspiration from local artists for its design, service, amenities, food and beverage. The 225-room hotel will be part of a mixed-use development in Auckland Central, with stunning views of the city and Auckland’s iconic harbour.
To help bring Hotel Indigo Auckland to life, we’re on the hunt for a Duty Manager to join our pre-opening Front Office team. Reporting to the Front Office Manager, you’ll help establish the Front Office department and support all aspects of hotel operations on shift to deliver a unique guest experience that brings the brand to life. The hotel team will work closely together, so you’ll support all areas of the hotel as needed.
We're looking for someone to start as soon as they're able, with our planned pre-opening getting close! Following opening, the role will transition to an operational role once the hotel opens.
