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 Experts take the initiative to deliver a wide range of services that guide guests through their entire stay. They are empowered to move about their space and do what needs to be done. Whether processing operational needs, addressing guest requests, completing reports, or sharing the highlights of the local area, the Guest Experience Expert 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 Experts 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 10 pounds without assistance). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for Guest Experience Experts – 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
The Ritz-Carlton's Front Desk Agent role in Houston centers on creating memorable guest experiences rather than processing transactions by rote. You'll be the point person guiding guests through their stay—handling check-ins and check-outs, fielding requests, managing operational details, and sharing local knowledge. The position requires you to be proactive and resourced with the autonomy to solve problems on the spot, whether that means addressing a guest need immediately or completing necessary reports.
The work is physically active; you'll spend extended periods on your feet moving through the hotel space, and you'll regularly handle items up to ten pounds. Beyond the operational side, success hinges on maintaining professional appearance and communication, upholding quality standards, protecting guest confidentiality, and following company procedures consistently. No prior hospitality experience or supervisory background is required—a high school diploma or equivalent is the baseline qualification. This is a full-time, in-office role suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes genuine satisfaction in turning routine interactions into positive moments for guests.
