    You are a proactive leader who understands how to build community, train staff in elevated service delivery, and ensure every resident feels prioritized, welcomed, and valued. You thrive in fast-paced environments and hold yourself and others to the highest standards of professionalism and warmth.

    • Develop and enforce service protocols and resident engagement standards tailored to each property.
    • Collaborate with property management teams to align program goals with operational needs, board expectations, and resident feedback.
    • Design and deliver training content for both building and management staff, including in-person and virtual formats.
    • Establish quality assurance protocols, including secret-shopper assessments and regular site visits.
    • Create and manage resident welcome programs.
    • Assist in lifestyle programming and community partnerships to enhance the resident experience.
    • Develop and manage a staff recognition program to celebrate excellence in hospitality.
    • Lead virtual onboarding sessions and ensure compliance with mandatory training requirements.
    • Support issue resolution and track performance goals across properties.
    • Document and maintain SOPs for the Residential Hospitality Program.
    • Serve as a brand ambassador, representing Halcyon Management with professionalism and warmth
