Description
POSITION SUMMARY
Our jobs aren’t just about giving guests a smooth check-in and check-out. Instead, we want to build and experience that is memorable and unique. Our Guest Experience Specialists take the initiative to deliver a wide range of services that guide guests through their entire stay. Their role goes beyond the traditional front desk to take ownership of the guest experience in the main areas of the hotel with a “guest first” mindset. They are empowered to move about their space and do what needs to be done. Whether processing operational needs, addressing guest requests, completing reports, delivering quality meals, or sharing the highlights of the local area, the Guest Experience Specialist makes transactions feel like part of the experience.
No matter what position you are in, there are a few things that are critical to success – creating a safe work place, following company policies and procedures, maintaining confidentiality, protecting company assets, upholding quality standards, and ensuring your uniform, personal appearance, and communications are professional. Guest Experience Specialists will be on their feet and moving around (stand, sit, or walk for an extended time) and taking a hands-on approach to work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 25 pounds without assistance; reach overhead and below the knees, including bending, twisting, pulling, and stooping). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for Guest Experience Specialists – to get it right for our guests and our business each and every time.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Education: High school diploma or G.E.D. equivalent.
Related Work Experience: No related work experience.
Supervisory Experience: No supervisory experience.
License or Certification: None
About this role
At the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, this role puts you at the center of creating memorable guest experiences rather than simply processing transactions. You'll work across the hotel's main areas with genuine autonomy to address guest needs—whether that means handling requests, sharing local recommendations, supporting meal delivery, or managing operational details. The position demands someone who takes initiative and thinks "guest first," moving fluidly between different tasks and responsibilities throughout your shift.
The work is physically active and hands-on. You'll be on your feet for extended periods, moving between spaces, and regularly lifting or carrying items up to 25 pounds. You'll also need to maintain professional standards in appearance and communication while upholding company policies and quality standards. The role requires a high school diploma or equivalent; no prior hospitality experience is necessary, making it accessible to people entering the field or transitioning into hotel operations.
This is a full-time, in-office position suited to someone energetic, detail-oriented, and genuinely interested in hospitality. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you're empowered to solve problems and make guests' stays better, and you're comfortable with physical demands and direct guest interaction, this could be a strong fit.
