Job Description

We’re looking for a Night Manager for a prestigious hotel group who doesn’t just “hold the fort”, you *own the night*. You lead when others sleep, you anticipate before problems surface, and you bring calm authority to moments where others might falter.

If you thrive in high-pressure environments, lead with quiet confidence, and know that exceptional service doesn’t clock out at sunset, this is your stage.

What You’ll Own

  • Full operational control of the hotel during night shift
  • Acting as Manager on Duty in the absence of senior leadership
  • Delivering a seamless, safe, and exceptional guest experience overnight
  • Leading, coaching, and holding your team accountable to the highest standards
  • Managing guest queries, complaints, and unexpected situations with confidence and professionalism
  • Overseeing night audit processes and ensuring financial accuracy
  • Driving performance, structure, and discipline across the night team

Requirements

  • Matric + Hospitality Qualification (essential)
  • Minimum 5 years’ experience in a Front Office or Night Manager role
  • Proven leadership experience in a high-demand hospitality environment
  • Strong Rooms Division + Food & Beverage exposure
  • Tech-savvy: Opera/Micros, POS systems, MS 365, CCTV
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Able to work shifts and duty management hours

What Sets You Apart

  • You’re calm under pressure, but decisive when it matters
  • You don’t avoid problems — you step straight into them and resolve them
  • You understand that leadership is not about control, but about accountability
  • You bring structure, consistency, and high standards — every single shift

What’s In It For You

This isn’t just a job, it’s an environment that invests in its people. Expect real growth opportunities, structured development, and a culture that values well-being just as much as performance.

Desired Skills

  • Audits
  • Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
  • Finance
  • Hotel and Resort Management
  • Opera
  • Operations
  • Point of Sale Systems (POS)

Employer & Job Benefits

  • Medical Aid Contribution
  • Provident Fund Contribution
  • Incentive
