Come join a fun, flexible, and passionate team that has big dreams and even warmer hearts. 

Why working for us is different
In this internship, we won’t put you in a box as a ‘receptionist’ or ‘food and beverage’ person. With us, you’ll become a champion multitasker – customer service, receptionist, concierge, barista, mixologist, logistics and more. You will learn to be a citizenM ambassador, free to be yourself to do the best job you can. We believe in making work fun. If you’re having a great experience, so will our guests.

We’re proud to put hospitality back in the hospitality industry, and that’s because of our ambassadors. We don’t hire them for their skills; we hire them for their attitude. We seek people who feel great about making others smile and we see the results in our happy guests.

Internship purpose
You’ll be exposed to all that hospitality offers in reference to Operations, including hospitality management, food and beverage, guest experience and over all day to day operation.

You will have regular check-in moments with your designated internship manager- you will be able to set goals and continue your learning through this hands-on role. We will also accommodate any credit-related learning as needed.

  • Work as night ambassador for up to 1 months where you learn how to conduct our Night Audit procedure, close the bar and prepare breakfast with our night owls
What you will learn
  • Exposure to non-traditional pretty epic hospitality culture with awesome values
  • Importance of facilitating happiness and building trust amongst a team 
  • Benefits of cross-trained empowered employees
  • Day-to-day duties of ambassadors
  • Skills in making barista coffee, mixology (cocktails) and front-of-house systems and procedures
