Position Summary The Guest Arrival and Service Manager is the face of arrival and the steward of the stay at Manor Vail Lodge, a full service condominium property of 140 residences across 6 buildings, steps from Vail Village. This role goes well beyond traditional bell service. It exists to anticipate and fulfill the needs of guests and owners from the moment they arrive through their departure, creating a seamless, personal, and memorable mountain experience. The ideal person is equal parts host, concierge, and problem solver: someone who carries luggage with care, stocks a refrigerator before a family walks in, secures the hard to get dinner reservation, and remembers a returning owner by name. During lower volume periods, the Guest Arrival and Service Manager also supports front desk operations, making this a versatile, central role on the property. Key Responsibilities Arrival and Departure Experience Greet every arriving guest and owner with warmth, manage luggage and ski or sport equipment from vehicle to residence, and orient them to their unit and its features. Coordinate seamless departures, including luggage handling, equipment return, and a personal send off. Manage curbside flow, vehicle staging, and shuttle handoffs during peak arrival and departure periods. Stage and deliver welcome amenities and pre arrival requests so the residence is ready the moment guests walk in.

Bell Operations and Logistics Manage the luggage storage room, including claim ticket control and secure handling of early arrival and late departure bags. Receive, log, secure, and deliver packages, mail, flowers, and amenities to residences, including owner shipments. Coordinate bulk luggage operations for groups, weddings, and corporate retreats against the rooming list, ensuring timely delivery and collection. Maintain the lost and found, including intake, logging, secure storage, and guest follow up. Keep luggage carts, umbrellas, and related equipment clean, stocked, and in good working order, and maintain a presentable lobby and entrance. Keep the entrance, walkways, and bell area clear of snow and ice during winter weather, coordinating with the appropriate team to reduce slip hazards. Provide a welcoming and watchful presence at the entrance, recognizing returning guests and owners and assisting with emergency and accessibility needs as they arise. Coordinate guest transportation, including taxis, rideshare, airport transfers, and town shuttle timing, and work with Resolve Parking Solutions on guest vehicle and parking needs. Oversee the bell staff, including assigning posts, dispatching, and managing daily coverage across arrival and departure peaks. Train, coach, and develop bell staff on service standards, safety, and anticipatory hospitality. Build the bell staff schedule and manage time and attendance in coordination with the front office. Administer the bell staff gratuity pool and its reporting in line with property policy and applicable wage rules. Set the tone for a positive, professional, and guest focused team culture at the entrance. Anticipatory Guest and Owner Service Anticipate needs before they are voiced: arrange transportation, secure dining and activity reservations, and coordinate lift tickets, rentals, and lessons. Provide in residence grocery and provisioning stocking ahead of arrival for units with full kitchens. Run guest errands and local pickups, and arrange deliveries to the residence. Work with the Director of Owner Services to anticipate and fulfill owner requests, building a personal relationship across repeat stays.

Retain receipts and complete reconciliation for all guest related purchases. Follow all property policies governing third party commissions and gratuities.
