Reporting to the Managing Director, the GM leads and develops seven department leaders - the Director of Food & Beverage, Director of Culinary, Director of Events, Executive Housekeeper, Guest Services Manager, Spa Manager, and Property Operations Manager - and is accountable for driving revenue, profitability, guest and member satisfaction, and team member engagement across Guest Services, Food & Beverage outlets and operations, Culinary operations, Housekeeping, Spa, Property Operations & Maintenance, and Event Planning & Banquet execution. As a senior member of the Brasada Ranch leadership team, the GM sets the service vision and operating standard for the property, positioning the brand, cultivating a systemic service culture, and establishing Brasada Ranch as the employer of choice. The GM protects the long-term life of the asset by maintaining the environment across every sensory dimension (sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste) and by planning and executing maintenance and improvement programs. With a growing resort - including planned meeting-space expansion and additional Cascade Bungalow keys - the GM is expected not only to run a high-performing operation today, but to lead the property through growth, integrating new inventory, outlets, and event capability without compromising the guest experience or financial performance.
