REPORTS TO: RIMAP Regional General Manager - Ottawa
GENERAL SUMMARY:
The Moxy Captain is the heart and soul of the property, embodying a deep connection to the target guest and aligning closely with the brand's core values of being thoughtful, fun, and spirited. This role is more than about the basics – while metrics are met, financials are tracked, and reports are completed, the Moxy Captain’s true focus is on bringing the Moxy experience to life for every guest and every Crew Member. With a keen understanding of what makes Moxy unique, the Captain is responsible for creating an environment where guests feel at home, empowered to serve themselves, and immersed in a vibrant, energetic atmosphere.
Key responsibilities include overseeing everything from the check-in process to the vibe in The Now (the lobby), the drinks at the bar, and the Rockstar-level service delivered by Crew Members. The Captain ensures that the entire guest journey, from greeting to check-out, flows effortlessly, with a focus on creating memorable moments at every interaction. The Captain is responsible for the soul of the hotel, ensuring that sensory details like music, lighting, and scent are all on point to enhance the guest experience.
The Captain actively builds relationships within the local community, bringing exciting events and activities to The Now to generate buzz and connect guests with the local scene. By curating a unique and engaging atmosphere, the Captain ensures that guests feel like they are moving seamlessly through the property, rather than just checking in and out. This role also drives revenue by promoting distinctive food and beverage offerings, using creativity and passion to create a lively, dynamic experience that attracts loyal followers.
A Moxy Captain is always on their feet, mingling with guests and creating infectious energy throughout the hotel. They are both the face of the property and a behind-the-scenes operator, ensuring smooth business operations while maintaining an exciting, high-energy environment. The Captain's blend of passion, creativity, and leadership helps make the hotel not only fun and memorable but also profitable – because that's the Moxy way.
