The Housekeeping Coordinator supports the department by coordinating room and public-area cleaning activities, updating room status, preparing reports, handling communications, and assisting guests and colleagues with housekeeping requests.

Previous experience in hotel housekeeping, administration, or a similar coordination role is preferred.
