Inventory controls and purchasing discipline
Deferred maintenance tracking and remediation plans
Professionalize property engineering leadership and expectations.

Build data-driven housekeeping labor models tied to:
Occupancy, room type, and service expectations
Cost per occupied room (CPOR) targets
Quality and guest satisfaction thresholds
Reduce labor inefficiency while protecting guest experience.
5) Improve Portfolio GOP Margins
Identify and execute operational efficiencies that create
measurable portfolio-wide GOP improvement , including:

Purchasing and vendor cost controls
Scheduling discipline, overtime reduction, and staffing optimization

6) Implement Vendor Contract Governance

Labor ratios and productivity
Asset condition and PM compliance
Departmental execution and standards
Action plans with deadlines and follow-through
Set expectations clearly; resolve underperformance decisively.
8) Drive a Culture of Structured Execution
Transition the organization from reactive management to disciplined operating control:
Operating cadence, scorecards, KPI dashboards
SOP adoption, audits, and compliance routines
Meeting rhythms that drive actions, not reporting theater
Build consistency across properties and eliminate “special rules” by hotel.
9) Assist Ownership in Renovation & Repositioning Oversight
Partner with ownership to protect asset value during renovation/repositioning by supporting:
Scope control and change-order discipline
Budget tracking and contractor accountability
Timeline adherence and milestone reporting
Operational transition planning (phasing, guest impact mitigation, ramp-up)
10) Strengthen Restaurant Performance
Implement F&B discipline to improve profitability and consistency:
Food cost controls, waste reduction, recipe/spec compliance
Labor deployment and scheduling discipline
Service standards and throughput improvements
Weekly P&L rhythm and corrective actions
How You’ll Be Measured
CapEx Roadmap delivered within 90 days ; annual plan governance operating thereafter
PM compliance rate; reduction in emergency repairs and guest-impact incidents
Engineering response/close times; inventory variance; deferred maintenance reduction
Housekeeping CPOR improvement with stable/improved guest scores
Portfolio GOP margin improvement and departmental flow-through
Vendor savings realized + SLA compliance tracking
GM review cadence maintained; action-item closure rate
Renovation projects: on-time/on-budget performance and clean operational transitions
Restaurant: food cost and labor contribution margin improvement
Who We're Looking For We are seeking a portfolio operator who thrives on structure and follow-through. You bring:
High standards, low drama, and a bias for measurable execution
Strong command of hotel department operations and P&L mechanics
Confidence installing systems, enforcing compliance, and coaching leaders
An asset‑protection mindset—capex discipline, maintenance rigor, and risk management
Comfort being held accountable to a clear scorecard
Qualifications Required
10+ years in hotel operations with increasing leadership scope
Multi‑property leadership experience (regional/area operations; multi‑unit oversight)
Demonstrated ability to improve margins through labor, maintenance, and operational controls
Proven experience implementing maintenance discipline and operational standardization
Strong financial acumen: budgeting, forecasting, labor management, variance control
Willingness to travel regularly across multiple properties
Preferred
Turnaround experience stabilizing underperforming hotels
Renovation/transition oversight experience (phased work, re‑openings, repositioning)
Strong F&B operational discipline background (where restaurants are material)
Working Style / Expectations
This is a field‑forward role: present in assets, visible to teams, and accountable for outcomes
Clear operating cadence: weekly KPI rhythm, monthly GM reviews, quarterly asset performance reviews
Partnership‑driven but firm: collaborate where appropriate, enforce standards when necessary
