Job description

This Isn’t a Job. It’s a Business You Run.

Our client is not looking to hire caretakers, they want operators. If you want to drive results, build a team, and take real ownership of a hotel—keep reading.


First things First- Compensation:

  • Salary Range: $110-$130k/ year.
  • Bonus Plan: up you 20% paid quarterly based on performance.
  • Benefits: no health, dental, vision, or 401K benefits are offered,



???? What This Role Really Is:

You are the CEO of the building.

Everything runs through you:

  • Revenue
  • Costs
  • Guest experience
  • Team culture
  • Reputation in the market

You don’t “oversee.” You "own" results.


???? What Winning Looks Like:

You walk the property and:

  • You know your numbers—daily
  • You know your people—by name
  • You know your guests—and they know you

The hotel:

  • Runs clean, tight, and consistent
  • Delivers great service without excuses
  • Hits budgets and finds margin

And when something breaks? You don’t escalate it—you and the team, handle it.


???? What You’ll Be Accountable For:

???? Results (Not Excuses)

  • Drive revenue and control costs like it’s your own money
  • Hit budgets across labor, supplies, utilities, and operations
  • Own reporting—no surprises, no chasing numbers

???? Operations That Actually Work

  • Set the standard for cleanliness, product quality, and consistency
  • Keep the building in shape—no deferred problems
  • Run a tight, efficient operation across every department

???? Building a Team That Performs

  • Hire people who care
  • Train them properly
  • Hold them accountable

No drama. No passengers, a team that delivers.

???? Guest Experience That Feels Real

  • Be present and visible
  • Solve problems fast and professionally
  • Turn issues into loyalty

???? Local Leadership

  • Get out of the building
  • Build relationships in the community
  • Make the hotel part of the market—not invisible to it


???? What It Takes to Succeed Here:

  • Prior experience as a GM or strong AGM ready to step up.
  • Prior Hilton experience strongly preferred.
  • You understand a P&L, labor models, and cost control
  • You can hire, coach, and develop people—not just manage schedules
  • You stay calm under pressure and make good decisions fast
  • You don’t need babysitting—you run your operation

⚡ The Non-Negotiables

  • You take ownership
  • You communicate directly
  • You solve problems
  • You deliver results


???? Why This Role Is Different

You won’t get buried in corporate layers, you won’t be ignored when results improve, and you won’t be left guessing what matters.

Instead:

  • Clear expectations
  • Real accountability
  • The ability to actually run the hotel


???? Bottom Line

This is a role for someone who:

  • Thinks like an owner
  • Leads from the front
  • Wants to win every day


???? If That’s you, then let’s talk.
