2. Build a Team That Wins
· Set the Vibe: Lead an energetic, accountable culture for a large team of managers and frontline team members.
· Grow Great Leaders: Recruit, train, coach, and mentor Assistant General Managers and Team Leads so talent keeps moving forward.
· Keep Everyone Aligned: Set clear expectations, give direct feedback, and keep scheduling, reviews, and employee relations on track.
3. Keep the Park Safe, Clean, and Ready
· Lead Safety Every Day: Keep safety front and center through clear protocols, equipment checks, ASTM compliance, and timely incident reporting.
· Make the Park Shine: Lead daily walkthroughs that keep the facility clean, attractions operating, and every area ready for guests.
· Stay Inspection-Ready: Ensure the park meets local health, fire safety, and commercial facility code requirements.
4. Create Guest Moments People Remember
