Housekeeping Manager for Pharmakon

Can you get people, operations and details to play together – and at the same time create a housekeeping team that thrives and delivers high quality every day? Then you might be the one we're looking for.

In collaboration with Pharmakon, we are seeking a Housekeeping Manager who takes overall responsibility for a team of about 12 employees; the position is an important part of the daily operations at Pharmakon Kursus and Conference Hotel. It's a job for someone who can lead people, keep control of operations and notice the details others overlook. You will also have the opportunity to put your own mark on workflows, structure and development of the housekeeping area.

Your responsibility

You will be responsible for the daily leadership and development of housekeeping and for ensuring that rooms, meeting facilities and common areas are well kept. You plan staffing and tasks, monitor quality closely and ensure that the team knows what needs to happen – even when the house is full, plans change and pace is high.

You will become part of the leadership team and work closely with the technical department, reception and booking.

You will, among other things, be

• leading, motivating and developing the housekeeping team
• planning staffing and daily operations
• ensuring a high and consistent cleaning standard
• monitoring finances, hours, budget and forecast in your area
• keeping track of linen, cleaning supplies, equipment and other purchases
• ensuring that rooms, furniture and common areas are well maintained
• developing workflows and finding smarter and more efficient ways to solve tasks
• working closely with the rest of the hotel on guests, events and daily operations
• stepping in hands-on in operations if the situation requires it

Who are you?

Your title today is not the most important, but you think you might come from the hotel, conference, facility or service industry. The essential is that you have experience leading employees, are empathetic and understand the importance of detail. You have experience with an operation where quality, tempo and people must function well.

We imagine that you

• are a clear and hands-on leader that employees know where they stand
• possess a high amount of leadership empathy
• are able to create structure and direction – also on busy days
• have an eye for both people and details
• understand the economics behind good operations and are used to tracking hours, budgets and consumption
• are eager to develop both employees and workflows
• take responsibility and make things happen
• thrive with close collaboration across disciplines
• have a natural understanding of service and guest experiences
• Danis in speech and writing – English in speech

You do not need to be able to tick off everything. If you have management experience, understanding of operations and the desire to take responsibility for an important area, we would like to hear from you.

A leadership role close to operations

The position is 37 hours and flexible within the hours during which our housekeeping is in operation from 5:30 to 21:30. You can expect a working day from 08:00 -16:00. As a leader you should know your team and be visible at different times - we expect you to plan the working hours sensibly.

What will you get with us?

First and foremost, you get an area you are allowed to take responsibility for.

• You will become part of the leadership team, where there is strong backing to draw on
• Opportunity to influence both daily operations and further development of housekeeping.
• An international team where not everyone speaks English, so it would be an advantage if you speak both Danish and English

In addition you get

• direct reporting to the conference director
• great influence on your own area
• close collaboration with colleagues across the house
• a workplace with high ambitions for quality, hospitality and sustainability
• a casual culture where there is no long way from idea to action
• salary and terms of employment based on experience and qualifications
• pension
• health insurance
• 6 weeks of vacation
• working hours in most weeks will be 08:00 - 16:00 Monday to Friday

At Pharmakon, Housekeeping is not a function that stands alone; it is an important part of what guests experience – even if it is often the details guests do not think about. As the site's new Housekeeping Manager, it will be you and your team who ensure that the details click. Let us start a good collaboration - send your application today via the link.
