Hotel Operations Manager

We are currently seeking a Operations Manager for our hotel property with 100+ guest rooms who fits the following profile.

Our Group is a fast-growing leader in hotel management and seeks a strong, experienced leader to grow along with our company, and to be a part of the culture that puts its people first.

This position is responsible for consistently delivering results that contribute to the mission and overall success of the hotel by accomplishing performance objectives focused on business revenue, guest and associate satisfaction, effectiveness and efficiencies. The successful candidate will coordinate, direct and manage day-to-day operations.

Hotel Experience

• People who understand how a hotel works, what it takes to be successful, and who appreciate the rewards of making people happy.
• These people understand that putting a smile on an associate’s or guest’s face is as much of a bonus as any financial award.

Life Experience

People who have a variety of career and life experiences and who have a good idea of “what they want to be and do when they grow up”, which includes being a compassionate leader and running a great hotel.

Balance

People who work hard to balance the most important parts of their lives: Spirit (whatever that means to them), Health, Family and Work.

Profit and Loss Understanding

People who can put people first and still know how to make money in the hospitality industry.

Passion

We seek people who love what they do and people who love who we are and what we do. People who understand and believe in our Core Values so much so that they not only know them…they live them each and every day.

People We Trust

We provide our leaders with a lot of responsibility and latitude. We look for people we trust with both. We are in our properties at least once or twice a week to offer support and catch our leaders doing something right, not to spy or find fault.

Therefore, we must trust our leaders to deliver.

Leadership, Charisma & Personality

At its core, ours is a people business. It has to be one that is attractive to people. And we believe that each and every one of our hotels reflects its leader’s personality.

It starts at the top. If you have a leader devoid of these characteristics you will not have a hotel where people want to work or stay.

Entrepreneurs and Risk-takers

People who will take the tools we give them, take risks to build their business, and take responsibility for the outcome.

Independent Thinkers

People who can and do think for themselves. People who seek total understanding of various options and come to their own conclusions.

Action

People who understand that doing something…anything…is always the preferable course of action in the hospitality industry.

Accountability

While we are in the people business, we ARE in business. We seek people who can balance the soft heart required to lead people and the tough mind to lead a business. In other words, people who have the ability to hold themselves and others accountable.
