We are looking for a Self-Catered Manager for the upcoming summer season to manage our growing portfolio of Self-Catered properties across Morzine and Les Gets in the Portes du Soleil. We want to hear from motivated self-starters who have a passion for the luxury hospitality industry and can confidently lead teams and plan, organise and execute tasks to effectively deliver our Self-Catered chalets.
Our Self-Catered Manager will support our Resort Manager in team and resource planning, whilst leading a team of Hosts to manage the varying workload each day.
