Stay Manager (M/W/X) - Temporary contract - Portugal

Position must be filled from asap to September 30, 2026.

Role

As the Stay Manager, you are the guardian of the guest experience on the ground of the guest journey. From the Paris office, you act as the central point of coordination for our Portugal seasonal activity. Reporting directly to the Resort Manager, you orchestrate field teams and partners from your desk to ensure every property is flawless and every guest feels supported. This is a high‑impact role focused on strategic oversight and real‑time problem solving, ensuring that Le Collectionist’s signature excellence is delivered seamlessly across all our destinations.

Key Missions & Objectives

(80%) Guest Experience & On-site Operations

• The Guardian of Quality: Supervise the welcome experience for every guest. You will manage more than 10 on‑site providers to make sure everything is ready for the stays.
• Operational Execution: Oversee check‑in/check‑out flows and conduct property audits to ensure our demanding standards are met.
• Crisis & Conflict Resolution: Lead point of contact for any on‑site issues. Resolve technical or service challenges with speed and diplomacy, turning potential friction into a seamless stay.
• Asset Protection: Supervise property condition reports (Check‑in & Check‑out forms), manage sensitive discussions regarding security deposits and damages to coordinate discussions between owners and guests.

(20%) Coordination & Team Support

• Field Coordination: Supervise schedules of field teams and partners to ensure flawless property preparation.
• Internal Synergy: Act as the bridge between the Sales, Concierge, and Supply teams to ensure guest preferences are perfectly communicated and executed.

Qualifications

• Experience: Proven track record in operations, luxury hospitality, or premium guest relations. Comfortable in high‑pressure, seasonal environments.

• Soft Skills: Impeccable presentation, strong empathy, and the authority to manage local providers and house staff.
• Tech Literacy: Comfortable using basic digital tools (smartphone apps, CRM) to track tasks and guest notes.
