Overview

We are conducting a confidential search for a hands-on General Manager to lead operations at a boutique hospitality property located in Northern California, within driving distance of Redding.

This is a unique opportunity for a hospitality leader to step into a high-potential operation and play a direct role in elevating both the guest experience and overall business performance.

• Opportunity to improve marketing visibility, including social media presence
• Drive the business toward full 7-day operations year-round
