Experience our Culture of Care and discover what a career at the Colorado Springs Marriott with Pyramid Global Hospitality can mean for you!What you will have an opportunity to do:
You are usually the first person a guest sees when they walk through our doors. You are also often the last. And everything that happens in between, every question answered, every problem solved, every moment where a guest feels genuinely taken care of, has your fingerprints on it. That is not a small thing. That is the heartbeat of hospitality, and we are looking for someone who understands that and takes real pride in it.
We are looking for a highly motivated, people-first Front Desk Agent to join our team at the Marriott Colorado Springs. If you are someone who lights up when you connect with people, stays calm when things get complicated, and genuinely cares about making someone's experience better than they expected, this role was made for you.
About the Role
As a Front Desk Agent, you are the face of this hotel. You set the tone from the very first interaction, and you have the power to turn an ordinary stay into one our guests talk about long after they check out. You will be working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where every day brings new faces, new challenges, and new opportunities to make a real difference for real people.
From welcoming guests at arrival to resolving concerns with professionalism and care, from managing financial transactions accurately to making sure every departing guest leaves satisfied, you will be the constant thread running through our guests' entire experience. That requires someone who is sharp, dependable, warm, and genuinely invested in the people standing in front of them.
This role also offers real opportunity for growth within our organization. We believe in developing our people, promoting from within, and building careers, not just filling positions. If you are looking for a place to plant your roots and grow in the hospitality industry, the front desk is one of the best places to start.
What You'll Be Doing
Greeting every guest immediately with a warm, sincere, and professional welcome that sets the tone for their entire stay
Completing the check-in and check-out process efficiently and accurately, including inputting and retrieving guest information, confirming room rates and preferences, coding electronic keys, and providing welcome packets with all relevant materials
Verifying and processing credit cards, handling cash, balancing an assigned house bank, and accurately performing moderately complex mathematical calculations throughout the shift
Accepting and recording various forms of payment including vouchers, traveler's checks, and foreign currency at current posted rates
Posting charges to guest rooms and house accounts using our property management system
Answering the phone promptly and professionally, retrieving and communicating guest messages, and handling requests for mail, packages, and faxes
Promoting the hotel's marketing programs and loyalty offerings and making thoughtful room selections based on individual guest needs
Fielding guest concerns and complaints with patience, empathy, and a genuine commitment to finding a solution; taking ownership of challenges and following through until the guest is satisfied
Remaining calm, composed, and solutions-focused during high-volume periods and emergency situations, using good judgment and discretion to navigate complications
Negotiating appropriate recovery solutions for guests when something does not go as planned, including authorizing revenue allowances when warranted
Operating the fax machine, photocopier, and other front office equipment as needed
Summoning bell staff to escort guests to their rooms when appropriate
Providing safety deposit box access for guests and maintaining accurate records
Maintaining a thorough knowledge of hotel outlet hours, local attractions, and property amenities so every guest question gets a helpful, accurate answer
What We're Looking For
A genuinely engaging and warm personality; you make people feel at ease the moment you interact with them
A real passion for connecting with people from all walks of life and all parts of the world
Outstanding customer service skills and a natural instinct for anticipating what guests need before they have to ask
A calm, resourceful approach to problem solving; when things go sideways, you are the person who finds a way forward
Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, including a clear and professional phone presence
Knowledge of emergency procedures and the ability to remain composed and decisive under pressure
A commitment to accuracy in financial transactions and cash handling procedures
Solid basic math skills and comfort using a calculator to perform moderately complex calculations without error
Flexibility to work varying shifts including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays; hospitality does not follow a traditional schedule, and neither do you
A detail-oriented mindset and the ability to manage multiple tasks at once without losing your focus or your composure
Proficiency or ability to quickly learn hotel property management and computer systems
A team-first attitude and a willingness to step in wherever the operation needs you
What are we looking for?
High school diploma or equivalent required; some college or hospitality education is a plus
Previous experience in a guest-facing customer service role is preferred; hotel front desk experience is a strong plus
Experience handling cash and processing financial transactions accurately
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment for the duration of a shift
Basic mathematical proficiency and comfort with a calculator for moderately complex calculations
Knowledge of emergency procedures and hotel safety protocols, or willingness to learn
Ability to stand and remain active throughout the shift, as this role requires continual movement throughout the front office area
Flexible availability including evenings, weekends, and holidays
A professional appearance and demeanor that reflects the quality of the Marriott brand
Bilingual communication skills are a plus but not required
Who Thrives Here
The Front Desk Agents who truly excel in this role are the ones who take genuine ownership of the guest experience. They do not just check people in and check people out. They read the room. They notice when a guest seems frustrated before that guest says a word, and they are already thinking about how to help. They stay steady when the lobby is packed and the phones are ringing and someone's reservation has a problem. They solve it, they smile, and they move on to the next person ready to do it all over again.
If that is how you operate, if you find real satisfaction in making people feel welcomed and cared for, you are exactly who we are looking for.
What's In It for You
At Pyramid Global Hospitality, we believe that taking care of our guests starts with taking care of our people. When you join our team, you gain access to a range of benefits designed to support your life inside and outside of work, including:
Exclusive discounts on room rates and experiences at our award-winning hotel portfolio
Comprehensive health insurance plans, including options for mental wellbeing support for you and your loved ones
Pet insurance for the four-legged members of your family
Competitive finance and retirement solutions
Performance-based incentives and bonuses
Generous paid time off
Exciting associate perks and discounts
Skill-enhancing job training from day one
Educational opportunities to support your long-term career growth
A genuine commitment to work-life balance
Real pathways for career advancement within our organization
