English term

Front Desk Supervisor

English to French Other Tourism & Travel
Hi everyone,

I'm translating a CV and I was wondering if "Front Desk/Front Office Supervisor" was the same as a receptionnist? And if not, how would you translate it into French?

I thought it was a higher position than a receptionnist in the hierarchy, but in France the highest position regarding Front Desk is "Chef de réception" which is "Front Office Manager" in English.

Thank you very much.

responsable réception

I don't think that manager and supervisor should be translated the same way. Front Desk is translated réception that's for sure. Manager is somehow closer to "gestionnaire" de réception but that's the term you use for the tool that keeps track of the "réception" details and organizes them. In my opinion, the term supervisor is translated "responsable" because it means that you overlook the front desk system and that you are responsible for it, without necessarily being Head of the Front Desk system.
