- Mentor managers and build a culture of consistency, accountability, and pride.
- Implement clear training standards for guest service, cleanliness, and maintenance response.
- Build schedules and staffing models that balance service delivery with labor discipline.

- Drive revenue performance with strong understanding of RevPAR, ADR, occupancy, comp set dynamics, and channel mix.
- Coordinate marketing and online reputation management (reviews, response cadence, service recovery).
- Financial & Operational Performance
- Own the property’s financial performance and daily controls:
- Strong command of CPOR, labor productivity, purchasing controls, and flow-through
- Budgeting and weekly performance reporting
- Inventory and invoice discipline; vendor negotiation
