Job Description

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

DON’T JUST FOLLOW TRENDS. SET THEM AT THE OMNI BOSTON HOTEL AT THE SEAPORT

We don’t do cookie-cutter. At Omni, we look for individuals who bring fresh perspectives, bold ideas, and their authentic selves to the team every single day. You won’t be asked to conform-you’ll be encouraged to stand out.

While we celebrate individual artistry, however, we win as a team. Our shared mission depends on trust, collaboration, and a dedication to uplifting the entire Omni family.

Grab the reins and help design the future of the Seaport’s most vibrant destination. For us, creativity isn't a department – it’s a mindset. It’s woven into everything we do and embodied by everyone who walks through our doors. Performance realities will always exist, but we view those constraints as a creative challenge to push past, never a limit.

The Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport is a AAA Four Diamond destination located in the heart of the bustling Seaport District. The property boasts 1,054 beautifully appointed guest rooms (including 52 suites), seven unique dining experiences, a scenic rooftop pool, the luxury Breve Spa, and over 100,000 square feet of state-of-the-art event space.
