About The Position

Aspen Vacations is a luxury vacation rental company based in Aspen, CO, managing a curated portfolio of exceptional properties across Aspen and Snowmass Village. We are seeking a Director of Housekeeping to own the housekeeping standard end to end: building and leading the team, designing the training and systems that keep quality consistent, and putting a personal stamp on how a luxury property should look and feel the moment a guest walks in. This is a leadership role with real ownership and a hands-on approach. The Director will be comfortable building a training program, walking a property before a VIP arrival, mentoring a supervisor, and solving the day's puzzle in real time. This role reports directly to the owner and will shape the department as the company grows.

• Experience developing and implementing training programs and SOPs.
• Vendor management and budgeting/cost-control experience for housekeeping operations.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and housekeeping or property management software.
• Exceptional attention to detail and organization; strong leadership and problem-solving under pressure.
• Excellent communication skills across guests, homeowners, vendors, and staff.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish (required).
• Flexible availability, including weekends and holidays.

Responsibilities

• Recruit, onboard, lead, and develop housekeeping staff and supervisors — building a high-caliber team aligned with our service standards.

• Motivate through recognition and accountability, addressing performance issues with professionalism and clarity.
• Foster a positive, collaborative culture built on open communication and shared commitment to excellence.
• Oversee daily housekeeping operations so every property is guest-ready and meets our standards at every turn.
• Conduct regular property inspections — cleanliness, presentation, readiness — identifying and resolving deficiencies promptly.
• Verify household items, amenities, and furnishings are in place and in excellent condition; ensure prompt reporting of maintenance issues and follow through to resolution.
• Implement and uphold cleaning protocols and SOPs that ensure consistency, safety, and sanitation — and keep improving them.
• Create and manage cleaning schedules for timely turnovers and optimal staffing across the portfolio.
• Monitor and manage inventory of linens, supplies, and equipment; source and replenish proactively.
• Manage vendor relationships, including suppliers and laundry services, for quality and cost efficiency.
• Accurately track and bill homeowners for additional housekeeping services and replacement items.
• Coordinate seamlessly with guest services and maintenance for arrivals, departures, special requests, and deliveries.
• Respond to guest and homeowner requests with professionalism and urgency, turning concerns into positive experiences.
