✅ Oversee financial forecasting, payroll management, and cost control strategies .

✅ Work closely with ownership & corporate leadership to meet financial goals.

Pre-Opening & Hotel Launch

✅ Lead all pre-opening activities , including hiring, training, and implementing hotel systems .

✅ Collaborate with Hilton & GLMG to ensure a successful grand opening & market entry .

✅ Establish vendor partnerships and service contracts.

✅ Ensure all permits, brand compliance, and operational licenses are in place.

What We’re Looking For:

✔️ A natural leader who inspires & motivates teams to perform at their best.

✔️ 3-5+ years of hotel management experience , preferably with Hilton or select-service brands.

✔️ A proven track record in sales & revenue management —you know how to fill rooms & maximize rates .

✔️ Experience opening a new hotel is highly preferred.

✔️ A hands-on management style passionate about guest service, team development, and operational success .

✔️ Strong financial acumen , budget management, and cost control skills.

✔️ Exceptional problem-solving, adaptability, and leadership skills .

✔️ Familiarity with Hilton systems (OnQ, PEP, etc.) is a plus.

✔️ Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends and holidays, as needed .

Why Join Us?

Competitive salary + performance-based incentives

Exciting opportunity to lead a brand-new hotel from the ground up
