Job Description
HOTEL GENERAL MANAGERNot Looking for a Job?Good. We're Not Looking for an Employee.We're looking for a builder.
More specifically, we're looking for an exceptional Hotel General Manager with a strong branded hotel background who is ready to help shape the future of a rapidly growing hospitality company.
Someone who walks into a hotel and immediately notices the burned-out light bulb, the dusty baseboard, the missed sales opportunity, the team member who could become a future leader, and the guest who needed attention thirty seconds ago.
Someone who understands that great hotels don't happen by accident.
They are built.
One room.
One guest.
One team member.
One decision at a time.
WHO WE ARE
DPN Collection is not your typical hotel management company.
We are an owner-operator and management company with an entrepreneurial spirit and an aggressive growth strategy.
One year ago, we operated two hotels.
Today, we operate eight.
Hotel number nine opens next week.
Hotel number ten is already under development.
Additional projects are actively moving through the pipeline.
That means opportunity.
Not the kind of opportunity companies talk about.
The kind that actually exists.
The leaders who join us today will help shape the company we become tomorrow.
If your goal is to spend the next ten years in the same position doing the same thing, this probably isn't the right fit.
If your goal is to build something meaningful, create opportunities for others, and grow alongside one of the region's fastest-growing hospitality companies, keep reading.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe great hotels are:
Spotlessly clean.
Meticulously maintained.
Staffed by individuals with a hospitality heart.
Everything else starts there.
We believe our responsibility is larger than simply operating hotels.
We create careers.
We develop leaders.
We deliver exceptional returns for our owners.
We strengthen the communities where we operate.
And we never stop raising the bar.
WHO YOU ARE
You probably aren't actively looking.
You're likely already successful.
Maybe you're a Hotel General Manager who has hit a ceiling.
Maybe you're leading a great hotel but looking for a company with greater growth opportunities.
Maybe you're simply tired of working for organizations that talk about culture but don't invest in people.
You are someone who:
- Takes ownership of results
- Holds yourself accountable before holding others accountable
- Builds strong teams and stronger leaders
- Understands both guest satisfaction and financial performance
- Believes details matter
- Loves competition
- Loves winning
- Refuses to accept average
Most importantly, you understand that hospitality is ultimately a people business.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
As a Hotel General Manager, you will lead every aspect of hotel operations, including:
- Guest satisfaction and service excellence
- Financial performance and profitability
- Team member recruitment, coaching, and development
- Sales culture and revenue growth
- Brand compliance and quality assurance
- Property maintenance and asset preservation
- Community engagement and local market leadership
- Development of future leaders within DPN Collection
You will have the authority, support, and accountability necessary to produce exceptional results.
THE EXPERIENCE WE VALUE
Our ideal candidate comes from a Marriott background.
We place a high value on Hotel General Managers who have successfully led Marriott-branded hotels and understand the systems, standards, culture, and guest expectations that have made Marriott one of the most respected hospitality companies in the world.
Experience with Marriott's operating platforms, quality assurance processes, loyalty programs, revenue strategies, and service culture is highly desirable and will position candidates for immediate success within our organization.
That said, great hospitality leaders come from many backgrounds.
Candidates with Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, or other major branded hotel experience are strongly encouraged to apply, particularly those who are quick learners, adaptable, and eager to embrace new systems and operating philosophies.
We are especially interested in leaders who have built diverse hospitality careers through exposure to:
- Multiple hotel brands
- Multiple geographic markets
- Different ownership structures
- Various management companies
- Renovations and repositioning projects
- Hotel openings, conversions, or operational turnarounds
The strongest candidates often bring a broad range of experiences that allow them to adapt quickly, solve problems creatively, and lead effectively in rapidly changing environments.
Most importantly, we are looking for a leader who understands how to build great teams, create memorable guest experiences, and drive exceptional financial performance.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US
- Competitive compensation package
- Performance-based bonus opportunities
- Clear advancement opportunities
- Executive leadership access and support
- Revenue management support
- Regional sales and marketing support
- Operational support from experienced hospitality professionals
- A company culture focused on growth, accountability, and development
Most importantly:
You will never be just another number.
As DPN Collection grows, our leaders grow with us.
ONE FINAL QUESTION
When you walk into a hotel, do you see a building?
Or do you see potential?
If you see potential, we'd like to talk.
