About the Role

As an In-House Team Lead, you will serve as the shift manager for our on-site ski rental and valet operation within the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley. You will lead the front-line team, set clear priorities and expectations, assign team members to stations based on guest demand, maintain equipment readiness and safety standards, and step in wherever needed to deliver a seamless guest experience. Because Ski Butlers operates within partner hotels, you will also work closely with hotel staff, respond to guest escalations, support service recovery, and ensure smooth communication and handoffs between shifts. No two shifts are the same, so success in this role requires adaptability, sound judgment, clear communication, consistent accountability, and the ability to remain calm under pressure while leading by example. The Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is a luxury mountain property located in the newly developed East Village of Deer Valley Resort. Ski Butlers operates as an extension of the hotel’s skier services, helping guests transition smoothly between the hotel and the mountain each day.
