Job Description
🌴 General Manager – Hospitality & Tourism Group 🌴
📍 Remote Island Based Role
We are currently seeking an experienced and highly capable hospitality professional to take on a senior operational leadership role overseeing multiple tourism and hospitality operations.
This hands-on position is responsible for the day-to-day leadership, operational performance and continued development of a diverse portfolio of hospitality businesses, including accommodation venues, food and beverage outlets, café operations, tourism services and associated guest-focused enterprises within a well-established and growing group.
Reporting directly to senior ownership, the successful candidate will play a key role in driving operational standards, team performance, guest satisfaction and overall business success across multiple departments and venues. This is not a desk-based management role, we are seeking a leader who is willing to be highly visible within the operation, lead from the front and work closely alongside department managers and staff to ensure smooth daily operations and exceptional guest experiences.
The role requires a genuine hospitality all-rounder with strong operational exposure across accommodation management, front office operations, housekeeping, food and beverage service, staffing and rostering, guest services, team leadership, compliance and overall venue management. The successful candidate must be confident managing multiple priorities, mentoring department heads, supporting teams operationally when required and maintaining high service standards across all areas of the business.
Strong leadership, organisational and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to remain calm and solutions-focused within a busy hospitality environment. Previous experience overseeing multi-department or multi-site hospitality operations will be highly regarded.
This position offers a rare opportunity to become part of a welcoming and close-knit island community while enjoying an exceptional lifestyle in one of the most relaxed and naturally beautiful locations. It is ideally suited to a passionate hospitality professional seeking both a rewarding long-term career opportunity and a unique sea-change lifestyle experience.
