Now Hiring: General Manager

Lead a Courtyard by Marriott - Shape the Next Generation of Hospitality Leaders

Are you ready to lead more than a hotel?

We are seeking an exceptional, forward-thinking General Manager to lead our full-service Courtyard by Marriott property - while also serving as an Adjunct Professor in partnership with a leading university hospitality program.

This is not a traditional GM role.
This is a legacy-building opportunity.

You will drive financial performance, operational excellence, and guest satisfaction - while partnering with the university to provide mentoring, teaching, and inspiring future hospitality professionals through a fully integrated, hands-on hotel practicum program.

If you are a proven hospitality leader who believes in service, innovation, and developing people, this is your platform.

This position uniquely blends:

  • Executive hotel leadership
  • Community influence
  • Talent pipeline development
  • Brand excellence within the Courtyard by Marriott portfolio
  • Academic engagement and teaching

You won't just operate a hotel - you'll operate a living classroom.

  • Full operational oversight of a dynamic full-service Courtyard by Marriott hotel
  • Revenue growth, GOP performance, and strategic asset management
  • Brand standards execution and guest experience excellence
  • Sales strategy, market positioning, and community engagement
  • Development and mentoring of department leaders
  • Serve as Adjunct Professor within the University's Hospitality Program
  • Deliver an immersive practicum course hosted inside the hotel
  • Mentor and coach hospitality students

We're searching for a leader who is:

  • A proven General Manager or senior hotel executive
  • Financially savvy and performance-driven
  • Passionate about developing people
  • A natural mentor and confident public speaker
  • Community-connected and relationship-oriented
  • Energized by innovation and experiential learning
  • Minimum of seven (7) years of progressive hotel leadership experience
  • Marriott brand experience a plus
  • Teaching, training, or mentoring experience strongly valued
  • Master's degree required
