If you thrive on leading high-performing teams, driving operational excellence and developing capability across a business, this is an opportunity to step into a role with real influence, visibility and progression potential within a global hospitality organisation.
About the Role
This role is suited to someone who enjoys leading from the front, developing others and taking ownership of performance across a fast-paced hotel environment.
As Operations Manager, you will contribute to the strategic direction of the hotel while ensuring day-to-day delivery is aligned, efficient and focused on both guest experience and commercial performance.
You will have clear visibility of how your leadership influences team capability, service standards and overall business results. Working closely with the General Manager and guest service management team, you will help create a culture of accountability, continuous improvement and service excellence.
With regular exposure to wider business priorities and the opportunity to step into General Manager responsibilities when required, this role offers a strong platform for progression and future readiness for senior leadership roles.
The Role
In this position, you will have a direct impact on how the hotel operates, how teams perform and how guests experience the brand.
You will take ownership of operational delivery across the hotel, ensuring that standards, processes and team performance are consistently aligned to business expectations.
Day to day, this includes working directly with department heads to drive performance, supporting recruitment and onboarding activity, and coaching leaders to build capability within their teams. You will use guest feedback, operational data and commercial insight to identify opportunities for improvement, implementing changes that strengthen both service delivery and financial performance.
You will also play a key role in shaping the culture of the hotel, setting clear expectations, driving engagement and ensuring teams are supported to deliver consistently.
Success in this role looks like a well-aligned, high-performing operation where teams continue to develop, standards are consistently delivered and both guest satisfaction and commercial performance are improving.
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who is a confident and credible operational leader, able to bring teams together and drive performance through people.

You will be comfortable influencing and challenging where needed, building strong working relationships across departments to ensure alignment and accountability. You will take an active role in developing others, recognising potential and supporting individuals to build their capability and progress.
A strong commercial mindset is essential. You will understand how operational decisions influence financial performance and will balance guest experience with business outcomes.
You will also bring energy, resilience and a hands-on approach, adapting to changing priorities and leading by example in a fast-paced environment.
