Masterpiece International Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description

Tucked into Clarksville, one of Austin's most adored historic neighborhoods, Sixth & Blanco is preparing to unveil a new standard for urban luxury. Launching in August 2027, this full-block masterpiece is the first and only mixed-use concept of its caliber in Texas.

Conceived and operated by Austin's own MML Hospitality-renowned for creating some of the country's most vibrant, design-forward boutique hotels and restaurants-and designed by the world-famous Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron, Sixth & Blanco blends historic Texan vernacular with breathtaking modern sustainability.

As the General Manager, you will be the visionary leader of this monumental launch. Supported by MML's deep home-office resources, you will own the pre-opening strategy, financial performance, brand delivery, and daily operations of a property destined to become an international landmark. This is a career-defining opportunity to pilot MML's ultimate flagship development right here in the heart of our home city.

Spanning an entire city block, Sixth & Blanco is structured as a lush, dense village made of mass timber, designed to seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor living. The property features:

• The Boutique Hotel: A highly exclusive, 57-room luxury hotel floating in the tree canopy on the third floor, where each custom-furnished room features its own private porch and densely planted garden.
• The Bathhouse & Wellness Spa: A spectacular, subterranean sanctuary carved into the native limestone, featuring a series of cascading indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, and elite treatment rooms.
• World-Class Culinary & Retail: An "urban carpet" on the first and second floors lined with highly curated specialty retail and MML's newest premier restaurant and bar concepts, anchored by open-air courtyards and terraces.
• The Residences & Club: Ten ultra-luxury, multi-million dollar private homes occupying the top floors, alongside an exclusive Members Club.
