Hotel GM – Blue Mountains Boutique, Up to $160K+S+Incentive, Group GM Pathway

• General Manager (GM) with full P&L and business plan ownership
• Drive rooms, F&B, functions and new wellness revenue
• Genuine autonomy with scope to grow beyond a single property

The owners have built something they are genuinely proud of. Now they are looking for one person to take full ownership of the property, run it properly and give them the confidence to focus on building what comes next.

It is a small boutique hotel in the Blue Mountains, less than two hours from Sydney, with established gardens, a restaurant locals choose to visit in its own right, a bar, several function spaces and a loyal guest base that regularly calls out the team by name. For its size, the property has a profile and following that punches well above its weight.

The foundations are already there. The opportunity now is to take the hotel to where it should be commercially, and the owners are ready to give the right General Manager the autonomy to do it.

Who This Suits

Someone who reads a property the way you read a room. The kind of general manager who, within a month, can tell the owners what midweek should be doing against what it is actually doing, where the rate is wrong on a Tuesday in August, what the functions calendar is worth once somebody really goes after it, and what every cost line is doing before deciding whether it earns its place.

You know your occupancy, your rate, your RevPAR, your F&B margins and your wage percentage without opening a file. You have grown a property and you can name the levers that did it.

What You’d Own

The business plan and the P&L, rooms, rate, mix and channel. Food and beverage. Functions and events across several spaces. Marketing and the guest experience that sits behind all of it.

There is also a full wellness centre going in, which is one of the biggest things to happen here at the property. A new revenue line in its own right, a reason for guests to come midweek, and the basis for retreats, corporate stays and packages that have not been possible before. You would shape what it earns, how it is priced and how it is sold, then open it and run it.

Partnerships are part of the job too: travel and airline channels, city hotels sending guests up the mountain, corporate accounts and a repeat guest base with real room to grow.

You would also set the benchmarks for the team leads and hold them there.

Where This Can Go

The owners have other properties in their portfolio, with further projects in the pipeline. For the right person, there is genuine scope over time to take on a broader commercial role across the group. It is not a progression that can be guaranteed from day one, but the opportunity is there for someone who proves they can deliver.

That also makes this an interesting move for someone already overseeing a small portfolio who wants a stronger property as their base, with the potential to grow their remit as the group expands.

Who You’d Be Working With

Owners who are close to the business and intend to stay close to it. You will have real autonomy and you will make your own calls, and you will be in the room when the big decisions are made. You will also work alongside an existing operations lead and a brand programme already under way.

What’s In It

• $150k to $160k+Super
• An incentive tied to what you actually grow, structured with you
• A property with a genuine profile and plenty of headroom
• Owners who back good ideas and like being brought them
• Genuine scope to grow beyond a single site
