Front Office Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Front Office Manager oversees reception, reservations coordination, guest relations, check-in and check-out, and the daily performance of the front-office team. Candidates are generally expected to have previous hotel reception or supervisory experience, strong knowledge of hospitality operations, excellent communication skills, and confidence handling guest concerns. Fluency in English is essential; knowledge of Maltese or other European languages is advantageous. The role requires leadership, organisation, problem-solving ability, professional presentation, and flexibility to work shifts, weekends and public holidays. Familiarity with hotel property-management systems and experience in an international hotel environment would be valuable.
Can I work in Malta?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.

Watch for: Agencies in Malta warn of paid "job offer" scams.
