Their team is composed of passionate and driven individuals who believe strongly that the status quo is not good enough. This ethos of pushing boundaries is deeply embedded in everything they do, making them leaders and trendsetters, rather than followers of industry norms. Located in exciting urban and coastal destinations, their properties are carefully curated to create unique experiences where guests feel they are stepping into first-class destinations rather than mere pit stops.
Among their prestigious properties is Hotel Santa Barbara, a charming and historic boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, California. Situated a half-mile from the beach and the famous Stearns Wharf, and just a block away from Paseo Nuevo outdoor shopping center, Hotel Santa Barbara offers an unbeatable location for travelers seeking a blend of leisure and convenience.

You will be the driving force behind operational excellence, overseeing the daily activities of the hotel to ensure that it meets and exceeds performance expectations. Your role involves strategic planning, including creating and overseeing the hotel's annual budget, managing preventative maintenance programs to preserve the integrity of the property, and conducting property inspections to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and safety. You will work closely with Geronimo's Director and VP of Lodging, providing detailed monthly financial reports that guide business decisions.
In addition to financial and operational management, leadership and team development are key components of this role. You will recruit, train, and mentor associates, fostering a culture that values hard work and dedication while delivering exceptional customer service. Multitasking and collaboration are essential daily skills, as you will assist various hotel departments and coordinate efforts with other tenants on the property, including restaurants and retail spaces, to ensure a seamless guest experience.
Geronimo Hospitality Group values employees who bring a competitive spirit and a willingness to contribute beyond standard job functions. The company rewards such effort with excellent benefits including employee discounts, paid time off, development opportunities, 401K plans, medical and pet insurance, and 24/7 online care.
