And here's the truth: you’ve gotta love to get your hands dirty. If folding laundry, fixing a light bulb, or jumping in to save the day feels beneath you—this isn’t your role. But if you want to: • Run a high-performing team • Keep a stunning property humming • Become the face of one of Arizona’s most beloved boutique destinations —You’re our person. Your Mission • Guest Experience Leadership : Be the go-to contact for guests (especially after-hours) and own the WOW factor in every stay. • Team Management : Recruit, coach, and lead cleaning & support staff with care, accountability, and results. • Quality Control : Conduct walkthroughs, manage inventory, oversee laundry systems—every detail matters. • Operations Oversight : Ensure safety, aesthetics, and maintenance are on point across all spaces. • Brand Stewardship : Uphold The Strawberry Inn vibe—warm, thoughtful, modern, and guest-obsessed. Qualifications: This Job IS For You If… • You’re a hospitality pro with at least 3 years of hands-on experience leading teams in cleaning, laundry, or guest services. • You're a systems thinker —you thrive on schedules, checklists, and making sure things run like clockwork. • You're physically fit and energized by moving between cabins, properties, and project sites daily. • You have the grit and flexibility to step in when someone calls out—yes, that includes folding towels or resetting a room when needed. • You take ownership of quality —from laundry freshness to perfectly staged cabins, nothing escapes your eye. • You’re a natural people leader —able to hire, coach, and occasionally let go of staff to maintain high standards. • You don’t mind rolling up your sleeves —whether it’s scheduling a vendor, changing a lightbulb, or patching a scuff in the wall. • You’re ready to embrace small-town life in Pine or Strawberry, AZ, and make a real difference in a place where your work matters. • You’re available for after-hours guest support and can calmly guide someone through a lockbox situation or late-night check-in hiccup. • You're game to host summer firepits or movie nights, helping guests feel welcome while laundry spins in the background. This Job ISN’T For You If… • You’re looking for a Monday–Friday desk job or prefer an office setting over active, hands-on work. • You expect to delegate everything and aren’t willing to cover a shift or step in when needed. • You’re uncomfortable with after-hours texts or calls —especially in peak summer months when guests occasionally need help. • You don’t want to relocate to a small town or aren’t ready to commit to the lifestyle Pine/Strawberry offers. • You’re not confident in hiring, training, or letting go of team members to keep standards high. • You’re not mechanically inclined or unwilling to get involved in simple repairs or vendor coordination. • You want to be in charge of bookings, guest communications, finances, or marketing —those are handled by our Scottsdale office. • You struggle to lead with accountability , follow through, or manage a small team with pride and consistency. Compensation: $50,000 - $70,000
