Area General Manager

Four-Property Portfolio Select-Service / Upper Midscale Hilton | Marriott | Choice Hotels Full-Time / Regional Travel Required

As we continue to grow, we are searching for an Area General Manager who will grow with us — someone who is not a desk-bound executive, but a true hospitality professional who leads from the floor, earns the trust of every team member, and makes every detail matter. This is a hands-on, visible, culture-first leadership role.

This is a growth opportunity, and this role is designed to grow alongside the company. The right person will not just oversee what we have today — they will help shape what we become.

THE KIND OF LEADER WE ARE LOOKING FOR

A genuine presence in the trenches — You are not above stepping behind the front desk, walking a property at dawn, or jumping in wherever needed. You lead by doing.

A culture builder, not a culture talker — You build morale through consistency, recognition, and genuine care — not slogans. Teams stay because of leaders like you.

Obsessed with the guest experience — You notice what others walk past. You know the difference between a good hotel and a great one lives entirely in the details.

A mentor to your General Managers — You elevate the GMs you support. You develop talent freely, share what you know, and raise the standard at every property.

High standards, every single day — Brand compliance across Hilton, Marriott, and Choice Hotels is not a checklist to you. It is a reflection of your pride in the operation.

Business-minded and results-driven — You understand RevPAR, labor costs, and the P&L. You balance heart-led leadership with smart, data-informed decisions.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

· Support and develop four on-property General Managers through regular coaching, feedback, and hands-on collaboration

· Champion and protect brand standards across Hilton, Marriott, and Choice Hotels properties

· Drive guest satisfaction scores and resolve service failures with urgency and genuine care

· Lead culture initiatives that build team pride, reduce turnover, and attract exceptional talent

· Identify operational gaps and design practical solutions that improve day-to-day performance

· Partner directly with ownership on strategy, growth planning, and future property acquisitions

· Oversee budgets, labor management, and financial performance across the portfolio

WHAT YOU BRING

· Extensive experience working across hotel departments — you know what every role feels like from the inside

· Proven record as a General Manager at select-service or upper midscale properties

· Familiarity with Hilton, Marriott, or Choice Hotels brand standards and systems (experience with all three is a strong plus)

· Multi-property or area management experience preferred

· A reputation for building great teams and lasting loyalty

· Financial acumen — comfortable with budgeting, forecasting, and P&L accountability

· Willingness to be a consistent, visible presence across all four properties within the region

THIS ROLE IS THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU…

· Light up walking into a hotel and immediately see what could be better

· Get more satisfaction from watching a team member grow than from personal recognition

· Have been told by former team members that working for you was the highlight of their career

· Are energized by accountability, not exhausted by it

· See hospitality not as a job, but as a genuine calling — and you want a company that feels the same way
