Are you looking for an exciting opportunity in Meribel, 3 Valleys this winter?
A diverse, varied and interesting position, the role of the Chalet Manager will be to assist in the general running of Ski Blanc operations in Meribel Les Allues.
The employment period is: Mid Nov 2024 - Mid Apr 2025
Key elements: The role is primarily as a PA supporting the Directrice in an administrative role and to act as a Chalet Manager to support & manage our 5 chalet couples running their chalets provide support for our chalet staff and to liaise directly with our clients.
In essence, it is a ‘bit of everything’, and offers a great variety, but fundamentally it is to support me running the business & office admin (so excellent admin skills are required).
Likewise it is to support the chalet couples running the chalets whereby they may need help cleaning in the chalets on the odd day, helping host and cook in the chalets too, (only when backup is needed and you feel additional help maybe needed - the emphasis is very much the admin role).
Likewise, you are a first point of contact for our valuable clients with a lot of customer interaction.
Basically a varied and multi-tasking role that allows for a good amount of ski time.
As I run a very small business with my fingers in 'lots of pies' I'm looking for someone who can support me!
I’m looking for someone who is active, and who loves to ski/or board as the job lends itself to plenty of mountain time.
Flexibility in the role and working as part of a small close knit team where you are very much part of the business would hopefully appeal to you.
