Candidate Profile: This opportunity is best suited for a seasoned hospitality leader who has already demonstrated success managing complex operations and leading high-performing teams.

Develop and manage annual operating budgets, forecasts, and capital plans. Analyze financial statements, labor productivity, and operational metrics to identify opportunities for improvement. Maintain strong cost controls while protecting guest experience and service delivery. People Leadership Recruit, develop, and retain high-performing leaders and associates. Foster a positive culture focused on engagement, accountability, communication, and performance. Conduct regular coaching, performance evaluations, and leadership development initiatives. Lead organizational change and successfully navigate periods of transition. Guest Experience & Reputation Management Drive measurable improvements in guest satisfaction scores, online reputation metrics, and brand performance indicators. Respond to escalated guest concerns with professionalism and urgency. Develop and execute recovery strategies when service standards fall short. Utilize guest feedback and operational data to identify trends and implement corrective action. Sales & Market Leadership Partner closely with the sales team to maximize market share, occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR performance. Maintain strong relationships with key clients, community partners, and local organizations. Understand market trends, competitive positioning, and demand drivers. Support revenue management initiatives and strategic business planning. Qualifications: Minimum 7-10 years of progressive hotel leadership experience. Minimum 3-5 years of experience as a General Manager of a full-service, select-service, or multi-property hotel operation with significant revenue responsibility. Demonstrated success leading hotels exceeding 150 guestrooms or managing multiple properties simultaneously. Proven record of improving guest satisfaction scores, financial performance, quality assurance results, and associate retention. Experience stabilizing operations, rebuilding teams, and leading turnaround initiatives strongly preferred. Strong understanding of hotel financial statements, labor management, forecasting, budgeting, and revenue optimization. Exceptional leadership, communication, coaching, and organizational skills. Ability to lead through change and perform effectively in fast-paced environments. Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Administration, Business Administration, or related field preferred.
