An Exceptional Opportunity

Imagine helping bring an iconic mountain hospitality destination into its next chapter.

SkyBridge Luxury is representing an exciting General Manager opportunity for a distinctive mountain lodge and destination hospitality experience undergoing a significant redevelopment in the Greater Las Vegas area.

Surrounded by extraordinary natural beauty, this reimagined destination will bring together boutique accommodations, destination dining, private events, and memorable guest experiences in a setting unlike anything found in the city below.

We're seeking an accomplished, entrepreneurial hospitality executive who enjoys building something exceptional—someone who brings the operational discipline of an experienced General Manager, the commercial instincts of a business leader, and a genuine passion for creating memorable hospitality experiences.

This is an opportunity to influence a property's future from the pre-opening stages and establish the culture, standards, and operating foundation that will define its success.

Position Overview

The General Manager will provide executive leadership throughout pre-opening, launch, and ongoing operations, working closely with ownership, executive leadership, and development partners.

The position carries broad responsibility for financial performance, food and beverage, boutique lodging, private events, guest experience, team development, and overall property operations.

We are particularly interested in leaders who understand that exceptional hospitality does not have to be overly formal. It should feel welcoming, authentic, thoughtfully delivered, and memorable.

Key Responsibilities

Pre-Opening & Development

• Partner with ownership, executive leadership, architects, and development teams to support operational planning and opening readiness.
• Establish operating budgets, staffing models, service standards, policies, and departmental procedures.
• Recruit and develop the property's opening leadership team.
• Coordinate operational readiness, vendor relationships, systems implementation, and employee training.
• Help shape the property's guest experience, F&B offerings, and overall hospitality identity.

Operations & Financial Leadership

• Oversee all aspects of the operation, including accommodations, restaurants, bars, private events, retail, and guest services.
• Take ownership of operating budgets, revenue performance, profitability, labor management, and financial forecasting.
• Develop strategies to drive destination dining, event business, repeat visitation, and ancillary revenue.
• Establish performance expectations and maintain accountability across departments.
• Ensure appropriate safety, operational, and regulatory compliance.

Guest Experience & Culture

• Build a hospitality culture centered on genuine service, personal connections, and memorable experiences.
• Lead by example as a highly visible and approachable executive.
• Recruit, mentor, and retain talented hospitality professionals.
• Develop thoughtful guest programming and experiences that reflect the destination's natural setting and unique character.
• Balance strong commercial performance with the intimate, personalized atmosphere of boutique hospitality.

Ideal Candidate

Essential Qualifications

• Established General Manager or senior operational leadership experience within hospitality, destination resorts, boutique hotels, lodges, or sophisticated hospitality operations.
• Demonstrated responsibility for multiple operating departments and revenue streams.
• Strong financial acumen, including direct experience with P&L management, budgeting, forecasting, and operational profitability.
• Experience leading food and beverage operations, working closely with culinary leadership, and delivering exceptional guest experiences.
• Proven ability to develop leadership teams, establish accountability, and build strong service cultures.
• Comfortable partnering directly with ownership and working in an entrepreneurial environment.
• Ability to work on-site in the Greater Las Vegas mountain region.

Highly Desirable Experience

• Successful hotel or resort pre-opening, reopening, or significant repositioning experience.
• Independent, boutique, or destination resort leadership.
• Restaurant, bar, wedding, and private-event operations.
• Experience establishing new operating procedures, service concepts, and organizational structures.
• Familiarity with mountain, seasonal, or experience-driven hospitality destinations.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

A Rare Pre-Opening Leadership Role: Help shape a significant redevelopment and influence the property's culture, operations, and guest experience from the beginning.

A Destination with Character: Lead a distinctive hospitality experience where nature, dining, lodging, and meaningful guest connections come together.

Direct Executive Exposure: Partner closely with ownership and leadership on the property's development, commercial strategy, and long-term success.
