VP and Managing Director

Aramark Nexus is a division of Aramark, a global leader in food, facilities, and uniform services operating across 15 countries worldwide and proudly serving millions of guests every day. Aramark Nexus specializes in developing and managing hospitality-driven workforce communities that support large-scale infrastructure, energy, technology, and industrial projects across North America. Unlike traditional workforce housing solutions, Aramark Nexus centers its approach around a hospitality-first philosophy, creating environments where residents experience the comfort and amenities reflective of a premium hotel or resort. These communities offer comprehensive services including housing, dining, recreation, wellness, transportation, and various resident support services designed to enhance quality of life, foster community connection, and support workforce productivity.

Currently, Aramark Nexus is seeking a Vice President and Managing Director to lead one of the most innovative workforce hospitality communities in Western Texas. This senior leadership role involves directing the community from startup through full operational launch and ongoing management. As the senior on-site leader, the VP and Managing Director will be accountable for delivering an exceptional resident guest experience, cultivating a strong team culture, managing client relations, and optimizing operational efficiency across integrated service environments. This position requires relocating to Western Texas, with a comprehensive relocation package included, and is a full-time on-site role.

The role demands a strategic and hands-on leader who combines the agility and urgency of a startup operator with the service excellence and execution discipline of a premium hospitality executive. The successful candidate will be responsible for establishing the community's culture, leadership structure, systems, and standards to ensure service delivery transcends traditional workforce housing to provide a living experience akin to high-end hotels or resorts. This involves driving operational excellence in hospitality, dining, facilities, transportation, housekeeping, maintenance, recreation, and resident services, all while maintaining compliance with safety and regulatory standards.

Key to success in this role is building and leading high-performing teams through the complexities of project startup, rapid growth, and ongoing operations. The VP and Managing Director will also act as the primary liaison between Aramark leadership, client stakeholders, and project teams, ensuring alignment with business objectives and fostering trusted partnerships. The position encompasses P&L responsibility, budgeting, forecasting, and strategic planning, leveraging data and operational metrics to make informed decisions that drive business performance and future growth.

Moreover, this leadership role focuses on integrating workforce housing solutions with employer needs through reserved inventory, block leasing, and workforce accommodation programs. By fostering a hospitality-centric environment that supports resident wellbeing and productivity, the role contributes directly to workforce retention and project success. The VP and Managing Director will also lead service recovery initiatives and implement continuous improvements to enhance resident satisfaction and engagement.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced hospitality or workforce accommodations leader with a track record of launching and operating large-scale, complex hospitality environments. The candidate must have strong executive presence, financial acumen, and client management skills, coupled with the ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, and growth-oriented setting. Aramark Nexus provides the platform to build scalable workforce hospitality operating models and shape the future of workforce living communities at a national level, backed by Aramark's global resources and mission-driven culture.
