General Manager
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $125,000 - $135,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
An Auckland property is about to open, and a hostel and hybrid hotel-hostel group with food and beverage venues across Australia and New Zealand wants a General Manager to lead it. You would hold full oversight of guest experience, team culture, financial performance and compliance, with each department head reporting to you.
Because this is a pre-opening role, the group is aiming for a January 2027 start and a March opening, so you would build the operation and the leadership team from the ground up. Please send a cover letter. As an accredited employer, the group considers applicants in New Zealand or overseas and can offer visa sponsorship support to the right person.
Lead your CV with the properties you have run and the results you delivered. You can craft a general manager CV with Build AI CV to sit alongside your cover letter.
Key Responsibilities
- Direct Host, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage and Maintenance through their department heads
- Be accountable for guest experience, culture, finances, standards and compliance
- Before opening, help build the operation and pull the leadership team together, taking the site from plans to launch
- Once open, link the operation's parts, support your leaders and keep teams aligned
Requirements & Eligibility
- A background running a busy hotel or hostel
- Commercial understanding of room revenue and yield management, with comfort in budgets, labour, revenue and cost control
- Some exposure to food and beverage, ideally in bars, restaurants or busy social venues
- Helpful but not essential: knowledge of Auckland's hospitality and lodging scene
- A cover letter, needed to be considered for interview
