• Ensure sound human resources practices, regulatory compliance, preventive maintenance, asset protection, and safe operations for guests and associates.
• Be a visible, solutions-oriented leader who steps into operations when needed and brings teams together during busy events and high-demand periods.

• Knowledge of applicable federal, state, and local safety, employment, and hospitality regulations.
• High school education and relevant training and experience required; additional education preferred. Additional language skills are a plus.
