Summary

The Hotel:

Connect to the heart of the West and embrace the captivating optimism of the Sonoran Desert at Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort. The richly appointed property and sophisticated architectural designs inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, reflect the romance of the American Southwest. Our magnificently designed property and artistic architectural features amplify dramatic mountain views, inspire connections to water, and reveal enticing botanical interactions. Captivating amenities and six elevated dining experiences, led by celebrity chef Richard Blais, echo the region's variety and rich heritage-beckoning travelers to deeply connect with the illuminating essence of our surroundings.

At Hyatt, we believe in the power of belonging and creating a culture of care, where our colleague's become family. Since 1957, our colleagues have been at the heart of our business and helped Hyatt become one of the world's best and fastest-growing hospitality brands. As we continue to grow, we never lose sight of what's most important: People. We turn trips into journeys, encounters into experiences, and jobs into careers.

The Strategic Program Manager role serves as a strategic execution partner, reporting to the General Manager of Grand Hyatt Scottsdale. The role translates the hotel's priorities, particularly CAPEX, operational improvement, owner commitments, and corporate initiatives, into an integrated plan with clear outcomes, accountable owners, milestones, and decision points.

This is a hands-on role at the intersection of strategy, hotel operations, owner relations, and project management. A successful candidate will bring the commercial judgment of an operator, the discipline of a program manager, and the entrepreneurial orientation to design simpler, faster, AI-enabled ways of working. The role will work closely with the Hyatt Americas Strategic Program Management team to connect property execution with enterprise priorities.
