Welcome to the heart of Södermalm!
Scandic Malmen is the absolute best hotel in Södermalm, where you’ll find a wealth of wonderful shops, restaurants, and a vibrant cultural scene with visitors from all over the world. The hotel’s venues have a rich history in music, having hosted concerts by Imperiet, Depeche Mode, and Duran Duran—and that spirit still lingers within its walls. Malmen offers venues where only your imagination sets the limits—everything from conferences, TV broadcasts, concerts, and major events is commonplace, and flexibility is our strength.
We’re now looking for someone just like you who wants to help write our story. So, are you great at delivering top-notch service, driving sales, and being a role model for your colleagues? Then we think you should seize this opportunity and join us on our journey!
We’re now looking for a Receptionist at Scandic Malmen.
No matter why a guest comes to us, few things are as appreciated as a friendly face that welcomes them. You’ll act as a host alongside the rest of the hotel team and create a world-class guest experience.
With us, you’ll have a great deal of autonomy to make the decisions needed to ensure guest satisfaction, and our teams continuously develop and improve our work processes and service as the world around us changes. We’re convinced that it’s when you’re able to grow and contribute all your skills and experience that we exceed our guests’ expectations. And as a bonus, we have fun at work!
So bring your experience, your dedication, and your way of thinking to us—and help build a culture where we truly care: about each other, our guests, and our planet. Welcome to Scandic!
What does the role entail?
As a front desk associate, you’re responsible for ensuring our guests receive world-class service. You’re the hub of the operation, making sure the guest is always the focus. You’re the one who reviews the arrival list and pays attention to the details, ensuring that guests’ requests are met. You always have a smile on your face and a creative solution up your sleeve. You can handle just about anything and are a star at turning a dissatisfied guest into a satisfied one. Your workplace is our lobby—that’s where you meet the most guests. Your responsibilities also include administrative tasks, security duties, and sales-related work.
Working at the front desk involves checking hotel guests in and out, welcoming them, and providing them with the information they need about their stay. You’ll manage reservations in the Opera Cloud system and handle administrative tasks related to guests and security. All work is focused on guest satisfaction and sales.
The hotel is open 24 hours a day, so it’s important that you enjoy working shifts (mornings, afternoons, and weekends).
Who are you?
To be a good fit for this role, we believe you have well-developed social skills and are capable of handling multiple tasks simultaneously. It is very important that you can provide excellent hospitality to the hotel’s guests.
You also have experience and knowledge of using computers as a work tool.
Since the job largely involves communicating with guests, a good command of Swedish and English is a requirement. Speaking an additional language is a plus.
Most important, however, are your personal qualities and your attitude. To be a good fit for this role, you need to be a responsive and humble team player who takes great responsibility for your tasks and the overall results.
