Property Manager

A design-led hospitality company takes hotels with great locations and tired product and relaunches them as boutique lifestyle brands. Each property gets its own identity, built on local character, with a lean, tech-enabled operating model: digital check-in and keyless access, virtual guest assistance and stays guests can move through at their own pace. The role: As Property Manager, you'll run two boutique properties on Florida's Gulf Coast. You'll own the guest experience, the team and the numbers on site, and you'll help shape the operating playbook the brand takes to every new property.
