This position uniquely blends:

Executive hotel leadership
Community influence
Talent pipeline development
Brand excellence within the Courtyard by Marriott® portfolio
Academic engagement and teaching

You won’t just operate a hotel — you’ll operate a living classroom.

Full operational oversight of a dynamic full-service Courtyard by Marriott® hotel
Revenue growth, GOP performance, and strategic asset management
Brand standards execution and guest experience excellence
Sales strategy, market positioning, and community engagement
Development and mentoring of department leaders
Serve as Adjunct Professor within the University’s Hospitality Program
Deliver an immersive practicum course hosted inside the hotel
Mentor and coach hospitality students

We’re searching for a leader who is:

A proven General Manager or senior hotel executive
Financially savvy and performance-driven
Passionate about developing people
A natural mentor and confident public speaker
Community-connected and relationship-oriented
Energized by innovation and experiential learning
