• Detail-oriented and quality-driven
• A confident communicator across different cultures and experience levels

• Identify quality gaps and implement improvements
• Ensure compliance with hygiene and safety standards
• Report maintenance issues or supply shortages
• Handle housekeeping-related guest concerns quickly and professionally
Hands-On Cleaning (15–20%)
• Clean guest rooms and public areas when needed
• Support the team during peak periods or absences
• Demonstrate best practices through your own work
What We’re Looking For
• Experience: Minimum 2 years in housekeeping or professional cleaning, ideally with leadership responsibilities
• Hotel experience is a strong advantage
• Communication: Able to give clear instructions and feedback in English or Swedish
• Digital skills: Comfortable using apps or scheduling systems
• Flexibility: Available for varying shifts including mornings and weekends
• Personal qualities: Calm, fair, solution-oriented and team-focused
What We Offer
You won’t just manage a team — you’ll help shape the culture of a brand-new hotel.
