Hostel Manager in Lofoten

Do you want to be part of our FURU family here in Lofoten and help creating Scandinavia's coolest Hostel?

We are looking for a like-minded person that is as stoked as we are to make Lofoten your permanent home and be part of creating something special here at FURU. If you love life, the outdoors, are enthusiastic about learning new skills and have no problem getting your hands dirty, this might be for you.

We are looking for a daily manager (daglig leder), that has the drive to create a unique experience for all our guests visiting FURU Hostel & Café. We want to exceed expectations in all matters of our operations and want you to feel responsible in ensuring our guest's happiness.

The Daily Manager will be part of FURU's Management team and will be responsible for managing all operations and implementing our strategy in becoming Scandinavia's coolest Hostel.

The position starts from August 2023, but we are flexible for the right candidate.

We are looking for you, who...

• brings positive energy and is excited to whatever comes your way
• has excellent communication skills and leading teams comes natural
• is being envied by all your friends for your mad multi-tasking skills
• stays cool as a cat when it gets busy at work
• is humble, always ready to improve and does not take yourself too seriously
• thinks good vibes is a general attitude towards life
• loves the outdoors and is living an active lifestyle outside
• sees problems as challenges and always finds solutions
• is not yet stuck in a box, has open eyes, and thinks creatively
• is sharp as a knife and easily understands new things
• has a structural approach to work and likes routines that are logic for everyone
• has a go-getter attitude and is a doer, rather than a talker
• thrives in a fun, casual and engaging work environment
• sees work as part of your lifestyle and not as a necessity
• is flexible and embraces the demands of an hospitality environment
• can tell jokes in English and speaks one of the Scandinavian languages fluently

We believe that a positive attitude is the most important skill you can have. All practical skills can be learned, and we are welcoming applicants from all kinds of professional and educational backgrounds. If you have lead teams before or worked in hospitality as a leader before, you might have a slight advantage ;)

If above sounds like a lot of fun and you are ready for a fun ride ahead, do send us your application. When you prep your cover letter, please incorporate below questions.

Imagine owning your own Hostel,...

• what image would you create?
• what would your main success factor be?
