The Southern Adirondacks are growing, and we're looking for the leader who will shape what comes next. This is a rare chance to build a region, not just run one.

What you'll be responsible for:

Our Area General Manager II, reporting directly to the Director of Hotel Operations, manages operations across up to four hotels spanning up to a 1.5-hour radius in the Southern Adirondack region, including two to three full-service properties with dining and event outlets. This role leads the launch of our newest property in North Creek, NY, and oversees all departments across the region to ensure smooth day-to-day functions, maximize guest satisfaction, and maintain high service standards.

They lead staff and on-property leadership across front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, and F&B, oversee budgets, drive profitability by achieving revenue targets, resolve guest complaints, implement marketing strategies, and guide the overall vision of the hotels and restaurants to deliver an exceptional guest experience.

Ensure operational consistency and service standards are maintained across all properties while recognizing the unique characteristics of each location. Properties will be managed day-to-day in partnership with on-site Managers, with regular in-person presence at each property as needed, including site inspections and hands-on support as business demands require.

What This Role is NOT

This is not a desk-based management position, and it is not a role for someone who needs an established playbook to succeed. The Area General Manager II is a highly engaged, hands-on leader who maintains an active presence across the region, including regular time on-site in North Creek while the newest property comes online. Not every property in the region has a dedicated on-site General Manager, so this role combines area leadership with direct, hands-on property management at the locations that need it, in addition to being physically present as needed across the rest of the portfolio, not just managing from a distance.

The right candidate will be comfortable stepping in to support operations when needed, whether assisting at the front desk, supporting housekeeping, or ensuring seamless service during peak periods.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:

• Lead and motivate hotel and F&B staff across departments and up to five hotels (front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, etc.), including supervising on-property Managers to consistently deliver exceptional guest service through hiring, training, and performance evaluations.
• Take the lead on standing up our newest property in North Creek: building the on-site team, establishing standards and workflows, and guiding it from opening through stabilization.
• Manage day-to-day operations across the region primarily through on-site General Managers and Assistant General Managers, while maintaining a regular, hands-on presence at each property as needed, including site inspections and additional support during peak periods, staffing gaps, or other…
