The General Manager role at The Mountain Winery encompasses responsibility for the overall management, promotion, and operation of the facility. This includes overseeing booking, finance, marketing, staffing, production maintenance, and related operations.

The General Manager will be instrumental in recruiting, hiring, training, and supervising staff, while establishing organizational structures and staffing requirements. Ensuring employee performance evaluations align with job descriptions and responsibilities is also vital.
The position involves orchestrating daily operations, maintaining facility safety and efficiency, and developing the annual operating calendar, including activity schedules, operational hours, attendance projections, and revenue targets. Budget preparation, implementation, and monitoring are crucial, alongside supervising cost accounting for events, including rentals, ticket fees, staffing, security, and stage operations.
