General Manager - Private, Elevated Hospitality Concept

📍 Southeast U.S. (Relocation Opportunity)

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a luxury hospitality group to identify a General Manager for a private, high-touch cocktail-driven concept within an upscale hotel environment.

This is not a traditional restaurant role.

This opportunity is built for a leader who understands how to create an experience, not just manage an operation—someone who thrives in a relationship-driven, member-style environment where consistency, personalization, and presence matter.
