You are a perfectionist by nature and know that anything worth doing is worth doing well. You are someone who doesn't settle for the ordinary, and have an aversion to blase service, knowing that effort and spontaneity are the alchemy for the extraordinary. You are genuine, yet polished, and aren't afraid to venture outside of the norm and do things differently. You obsess over the details (the Science) and presentation (the Art), striving to create an experience that surprises and inspires.THE ROLE

The Ambassador role is not a front desk receptionist hiding behind a desk, generating paperwork, and swiping credit cards. At Foundation, the Ambassador owns the guest experience, ensuring that no need goes unmet and no opportunity to make a guest's visit special is missed. The ambassadors are exquisite hosts, just as comfortable arranging the details of a surprise proposal, as they are giving a hotel tour to a curious neighbor or maneuvering a bell cart.WHAT YOU WILL DO
