Job Summary
As a Guest Service Coordinator, you are the Director of First Impressions and the primary architect of the Sauna House environment. Your mission is to "set the stage,” ensuring every guest feels an immediate sense of belonging, safety, and calm the moment they cross our threshold. You are not just managing a desk; you are managing the "emotional weather" of the house. You are kind, genuine, and compassionate, with a deep curiosity for the science of contrast therapy and a relentless eye for facility excellence.

Job Responsibilities and Duties:
Physical Labor:
Please note that this job requires you to operate & maintain wood burning Saunas. Handling wood, starting sauna fires, being outdoors, filling up pools and moving constantly are an important role in this job. In addition to the physical requirements, hospitality, sales and knowledge in the wellness space are equally important. 

Facility Stewardship (Setting the Stage)

• High-Tier Standards: You understand that cleanliness is a form of hospitality. You execute opening, closing, and in-shift checklists not just to "clean," but to restore the space to a premium, "Day One" aesthetic.
• Opening duties include starting fires for the wood burning saunas, cleaning the saunas and operating the saunas throughout the shift in order to maintain appropriate temperatures for the guests. Consider yourself a fire tender. 
• Meticulous Care: Monitor and restock all guest amenities throughout the shift. A stray towel or an empty water station is a failure of service, and you stay ahead of the guest's needs so they never have to ask.
• Optimization: Manage and create appointments to maximize the bathhouse space, ensuring the house feels vibrant, but never overcrowded.

The Hospitality of Arrival & Departure

• Enlightened Welcome: Provide exceptional hospitality by creating a warm, intentional environment. You don't just "check people in", you transition them from the chaos of the outside world into the safety of the bathhouse.
• Active Listening: Understand, anticipate, and accommodate guest needs. Identify first-timers, regulars, or guests who need extra care.
• Expert Communication: Manage phone calls, emails, and bookings with speed and warmth. You are the voice of Sauna House, providing accurate, compelling information about our rituals and treatments.
• Efficient Flow: Manage the check-in/out process and billing with precision, ensuring that the "business" of the visit never interrupts the guest’s experience.

Knowledge & Advocacy

• The Student Mindset: Commit to the continuous study of Sauna House’s offerings. You must be a confident advocate for the health benefits of sauna, cold therapy, and massage.
• Education: Share your knowledge proactively. Whether a guest is nervous about the cold plunge or curious about infrared, you provide the "Why" that builds their confidence.
• Team Synergy: Communicate effectively and empathetically with coworkers and management. You are the "hub" of the shift, ensuring information flows smoothly between the desk, the floor, and the Practitioners.

Qualifications
In this role, we look for individuals whose emotional intelligence and work ethic are as high as their technical skill.

• You Notice the Small Things: You see the guest who looks lost, the fingerprint on the glass door, and the towel that needs folding, and you act without being told.
• You Are a "Host" by Nature: You treat the bathhouse like your own home and the guests like your personal invitees.
• You Embody the Ritual: You believe in the power of what we do and bring that authentic energy to every interaction.
