About the Role:

Cox Bay Beach Resort is growing our Housekeeping leadership team, and we're excited to introduce a brand-new position: Assistant Housekeeping Manager. This is the first time our department will have two dedicated leaders working side by side, and we're looking for someone ready to help shape what that partnership looks like.

This role is administration-focused. You'll be the engine behind the scenes: hiring, onboarding, scheduling, ordering, and inventory, while working closely with our Housekeeping Manager, whose focus is on the floor: supporting the team hands-on with cleaning and day-to-day staff needs. Together, you'll lead a large team and keep the department running smoothly from every angle.

What You Bring:

· Previous cleaning/housekeeping experience required

· Management or supervisory experience required





· Valid driver's license required

· Strong organizational skills and comfort with administrative work (scheduling, ordering, inventory tracking)

· Experience hiring and onboarding staff is an asset, but not mandatory

· Ability to lead a large team with clarity and consistency

· Willingness to jump in on the floor when the team needs extra hands
