The Duty Manager oversees hotel operations during assigned shifts, ensuring excellent guest service and smooth coordination between Front Office, Housekeeping, Food and Beverage, Engineering, and Security. Candidates typically need a hospitality or hotel-management qualification, several years of supervisory experience, strong communication skills, and confidence handling guest concerns and operational emergencies. Experience with hotel property-management systems, staff scheduling, complaint resolution, and service standards is valuable. The role expects a hands-on, professional leader who can make sound decisions independently, support colleagues, maintain Shangri-La standards, and remain calm under pressure. Flexibility to work rotating shifts, weekends, and public holidays is essential.
