Lead the opening team of a brand-new, ground-up
Fairfield Inn & Suites Inglewood as our
Pre-Opening General Manager-a unique opportunity to shape the identity, culture, and operational success of a hotel from the ground up. As the driving force behind the pre-opening and ramp up phase, you will lead all aspects of hotel development readiness, including construction coordination, brand compliance, recruiting and building a high-performing team, establishing operational infrastructure, and delivering a successful grand opening.
This role goes beyond traditional hotel operations-you will be instrumental in translating the vision of ownership and brand into a fully realized guest experience.
