Duty Manager - Ionian Islands, Greece

The Duty Managers assist the General Manager in the day to day running of the club. They are the front of house faces of the management team getting to know our guests, ensuring the club is running to schedule and that all of our departments are working together to provide the best possible experience for our guests.

THE DUTY MANAGER

The Duty Managers are the first ones in and the last ones out of the club. They are visible to all guests and staff, moving around all departments, checking in with department heads, offering support and championing the Peligoni Club.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated and confident all-rounder with an impeccable attention to detail who can provide a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere as well as ensure a consistently high level of service.

Working closely with the rest of the management team, they will get to know our guests and our team members alike and lead from the front.

This is a challenging but extremely rewarding role for those who thrive when given responsibility and gain satisfaction from being part of a team.

It’s not all work and no play – in your spare time, as well as being able to explore the island and experience the local food and culture, you will have access to the club’s watersports facilities, allowing you to hone your existing skills or learn new ones in sailing and windsurfing.
