Job description
On behalf of a privately owned boutique resort in the Caribbean, CourtesyMasters is searching for an experienced and passionate General Manager.
Our client is an established hospitality business with a strong identity, a loyal international clientele and a dedicated multicultural team. Personal attention, genuine hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere are at the heart of its success.
We are looking for a General Manager who appreciates these values, but also brings fresh ideas, commercial awareness and the ambition to take the business to the next level.
As General Manager, you will take responsibility for the overall operation and performance of the resort, ensuring that both guests and employees enjoy an exceptional environment.
Food & Beverage plays a particularly important role in this position. We are therefore looking for someone who understands the dynamics of restaurant operations and knows how to turn a strong F&B offering into a memorable guest experience and a successful business.
You will work closely with your management team to further develop operational standards, guest satisfaction, financial performance and the resort's competitive positioning.
Beyond daily operations, you will contribute to the long-term strategy of the business, identify opportunities for improvement and innovation, and work closely with ownership on future developments.
This is very much a hands-on leadership position. You enjoy being visible, connecting with guests and employees, and creating a culture in which people feel valued, motivated and proud of what they do.
Candidate profile
You are an experienced hospitality professional with a genuine passion for people, service and operational excellence.
Your background includes solid hotel management experience, with a particularly strong foundation in Food & Beverage. You combine commercial thinking with financial discipline and know how to translate ideas into results.
You bring:
- A relevant Bachelor's degree and at least seven years of experience in hospitality, including a minimum of five years in a leadership role within Food & Beverage.
- Proven experience in managing teams, operations, budgets and guest satisfaction.
- A natural leadership style, with the ability to inspire and develop a multicultural team.
- A practical, entrepreneurial mindset and the confidence to make decisions.
- Strong communication skills and fluency in English.
- An interest in Caribbean hospitality and the lifestyle that comes with living and working on an island.
Dutch nationality would be an advantage, subject to applicable residency and work permit requirements. Knowledge of Dutch, Spanish or Papiamento would be an additional asset.
Above all, we are looking for someone who understands that running a successful boutique resort is about much more than managing rooms, restaurants and numbers. It is about creating an environment where guests want to return and employees enjoy being part of the journey.
