Regional Operations Manager

Location: While this is a remote position, there is an expectation that the Regional Operations Manager live within a 50-60 mile radius of their portfolio of oversight.

Compensation: $100,000 - $125,000 based on experience.

Think, act, work, teach, and inspire from outside the box! Lark is looking for a Regional Operations Manager who can oversee multiple complex independent hotel and restaurant assets. We look to inspire travel, we embody approachable, eye-to-eye hospitality, and we listen to the story of the property and work tirelessly to bring it to life.

The right person for this role has extensive experience in Restaurants, Events, and Bars, along with a strong hospitality background in Hotels. But we are not looking for a "Super General Manager". Rather, we want someone who can help a General Manager look further into the future of the business, help support the property leadership teams in appropriately hiring, training, and developing their respective teams, and hold the General Manager accountable for financial performance and overall condition of the asset.

The Regional Operations Manager supports the communication with ownership, always knowing intimately the financial performance of the property and the business forecast in the market in which the property operates. The Regional Operations Manager travels to his or her properties, meets with all levels of staff, supports guest interactions, and sets the example for the property of Lark's core values.

Candidates must be located within 1 hour driving distance of the location of this posting to be considered for the position. This is a remotely based job that requires approximately 60% travel. We will consider applicants located in Massachusetts with access to a car for travel to properties in the general Boston and North Shore region and beyond.
