Human Resources Manager

About the Opportunity:
Shape the Culture at Sixth & Blanco

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 roots with breathtaking modern design.

As the Human Resources Manager, you will be the cultural anchor of this monumental hometown launch. Supported by MML’s deep home-office resources, you will run the day-to-day HR operations, lead the massive pre-opening recruitment drive, and foster an inclusive, high-energy environment for a diverse team spanning luxury hospitality, elite wellness, and world-class culinary concepts.

The Property:
An Urban Village of Unparalleled Luxury

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.

• The Bathhouse & Wellness Spa: A spectacular, subterranean sanctuary carved into the native limestone.

• World-Class Culinary & Retail:
  Highly curated specialty retail and MML’s newest premier restaurant and bar concepts, anchored by open-air courtyards.

• The Residences & Club:
  Ten ultra-luxury private homes and an exclusive Members Club.
