Executive Housekeeper — Avani Pemba Beach Hotel & Spa — Pemba, Cabo Delgado

A beach hotel in Pemba with a department to lead

Avani Pemba Beach Hotel & Spa belongs to the Minor Hotels group, an international operator whose hotels and resorts span five continents, from Europe to Australia. The Avani brand builds its identity around a balance described by the group itself: hassle-free design, vibrant social spaces, honest locally inspired cuisine, and warm service that respects guests' privacy. In Pemba, Cabo Delgado, this philosophy takes the form of a beach hotel property with a spa, welcoming both leisure guests and business travelers.

Now, the hotel is looking for someone to lead the housekeeping and laundry operations from end to end: the Executive Housekeeper. Travelers recognize within the first few minutes the impact of a well-managed housekeeping department — and it is this strong leadership that the property seeks to ensure with this hire.

Your mission

The group's stated mission for this role is threefold: serve the business, serve the guest, and support colleagues — all through supervising housekeeping and laundry. The job post connects this leadership role to two concrete outcomes: hotel spaces that are always well maintained, and a safe, organized environment for both guests and staff. It is a management position: an entire department, complete with its team, standards, and procedures, under your responsibility.

Your day-to-day in the role

• Lead the property's overall cleaning and laundry operations;
• Establish service standards, review them based on operational needs, and ensure they reach the entire housekeeping team through effective training;
• Ensure continuous cleanliness across public areas, guest contact zones, and back-of-house spaces;
• Enforce health and safety requirements within the department;
• Keep the department's standard operating procedures (SOP and LSOP) up to date, active, and accessible to the entire team as a working reference.

What Avani Pemba offers

• Leadership of an entire department — housekeeping and laundry — with your own team and standards;
• An operation where training and documented procedures are part of the hotel's declared way of operating;
• Integration into an international group whose footprint keeps expanding;
• Work at a beachfront property with a spa, located in the city of Pemba, Cabo Delgado.
