Director Of Operations Hotels Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Aramark Nexus is seeking experienced Director of Operations candidates who are interested in future on-site leadership opportunities across Nexus locations throughout the United States. If you are a Director of Operations, Hotel Director of Operations, Resort Operations Leader, Assistant General Manager, Rooms Division Leader, Lodging Operations Director, Food and Beverage Operations Leader, or senior hospitality operations professional interested in joining Aramark Nexus, please apply to be considered for current and future opportunities.

The Director of Operations is the number two leader on site, reporting to the VP and Managing Director. This role is designed for a builder, operator, and hospitality leader who can help stand up, open, stabilize, and scale a large Nexus workforce hospitality community.

This is not a general administrative operations role. The ideal candidate will bring direct experience leading lodging or hotel operations, rooms division, guest services, housekeeping, accommodations, and food and beverage operations in a complex service environment. Nexus is looking for a leader who understands how to run the property, connect departments, solve issues in real time, and build the operating rhythm required for a large residential hospitality community.

Nexus opportunities are often located in remote or unique workforce community environments where our teams support large-scale hospitality, food service, lodging, facilities, residential, transportation, recreation, wellness, housekeeping, maintenance, retail, safety, and guest services operations. These roles are built for leaders who can bring structure, urgency, discipline, and hospitality standards to complex on-site operations.

The Director of Operations works hand in hand with the VP and Managing Director to execute the operating model, lead department heads, solve issues, support the resident guest experience, and keep the full property moving in the same direction. This person must understand both the guest-facing experience and the back-of-house systems that make a large property work.

This opportunity is a strong fit for operational leaders who enjoy building new operations from the ground up, leading lodging and food and beverage teams, creating accountability, improving processes, and helping large teams deliver a premium hospitality experience in a workforce community setting.

Many Aramark Nexus opportunities are based in remote or residential workforce community locations. Depending on the assignment, Aramark employees may have access to free on-site accommodations as part of their employment.

These accommodations are designed to support employees working in unique operating environments where living on site may be part of the experience. Meals may also be included for Aramark staff while assigned to the location.

Aramark Nexus is redefining workforce communities for the industries building the future. Nexus develops and operates hospitality-driven workforce communities that support major infrastructure, energy, technology, and industrial projects across the United States.

Our communities provide housing, dining, recreation, wellness, transportation, housekeeping, facilities, guest services, and support services designed to create an exceptional living experience for residents working on critical projects.

Unlike traditional workforce housing operations, Nexus is built around a hospitality-first philosophy. We believe residents deserve an experience that feels more like a premium hotel or resort than a temporary work camp. Our teams create environments where people can recharge, connect, and perform at their best.

For candidates looking for Director of Operations, hotel operations, resort operations, workforce accommodations, remote site operations, food and beverage operations, rooms division, lodging operations, or large-scale hospitality leadership opportunities, Aramark Nexus offers the opportunity to build operations, lead teams, and help shape the future of workforce hospitality.
