THE MISSION?

• As Mama's Door Attendant, you're the master of first impressions. ✨
• Before guests even reach Reception, you're already making them feel at home with your warm smile, positive energy, and attentive service. Whether you're welcoming visitors, assisting residents, handling luggage, or helping guests find their way around, you're always ready to lend a hand. 🚪🧳
• You keep a watchful eye on the entrance, ensuring everyone is welcomed, guided, and looked after. Safety, security, and service are your three best friends. 👀✨
• Need help with bags? You've got it. Directions to the rooftop? Easy. Last-minute guest request? Consider it handled. 💪
• Working closely with the Concierge and Front Office teams, you help keep the guest journey seamless from arrival to departure. Whether you're escorting guests to their rooms, supporting logistics behind the scenes, or ensuring deliveries arrive safely, you know that every detail matters. 📦🏨
• You treat every guest, resident, visitor, and colleague with kindness, professionalism, and a little Mama magic. ✨
• And because you take pride in your surroundings, you make sure equipment, storage areas, and vehicles stay clean, organized, and guest-ready at all times.
• At the end of the day, you're much more than the person at the door... you're the guardian of Mama's welcome. ❤️🚪

MADE FOR YOU? ONLY IF...
