About the Role
As Night Manager (Part-Time) at Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney, you’ll be more than a point of contact— you’ll be the heartbeat of the hotel after hours
Reporting to the Front Office Manager and working closely with the Duty Managers, you’ll lead overnight operations from pre-opening through to nightly delivery. This pivotal role oversees the guest journey during the most independent and critical hours of the day.
You will be hands-on in shaping our hotel’s overnight service standards—supporting everything from system setup and training to cost control and safety protocols. You’ll also help foster a vibrant overnight culture aligned with Caption’s fresh, guest-led philosophy and Hyatt’s purpose of care.
Once our doors open, you’ll step confidently into the role of overnight leader—visible, approachable, and in control. Whether welcoming late arrivals, handling emergencies, or resolving guest concerns, you’ll create a safe, inclusive, and energetic space for both guests and overnight colleagues. You’ll also own the critical functions of the night: conducting audits, reconciling financials, preparing reports, and ensuring systems are ready for the next day.
You may also be called upon to support daytime Duty Manager coverage when available.
If you’re detail-driven, people-focused, and ready to grow your leadership experience in a dynamic environment, this is your chance to be part of something bold from day one.
