About The Position

General Manager - Revenue and Growth At Pathfinder, hospitality is not just in our name - it's in our DNA. Our Platinum Service promise is simple: do unto others better than they could have ever imagined. Our core values - Accountability, Collaboration, Empowerment, Engagement, Innovation, Integrity, Passion, and Transparency - are not wall art. They're how we make decisions. We have an infinite mindset. We're building something that outlasts its founders. The GM we hire here is part of that. Role Overview Aloft Austin Southwest has a 4.6-star rating, a superior product, and a better location than most of its competitive set. And yet - we're not winning the revenue game the way we should be. The hotel is currently performing below its natural RevPAR Index threshold, which means there is real, uncaptured upside waiting for the right leader with a genuine ownership mindset to claim it. If you're the kind of leader who sees a gap like that as an opportunity rather than a red flag, this role was built for you. What This Role Actually Is This is a revenue-first general management role. Operations matter - a clean, well-run hotel is table stakes - but your primary accountability is growing RevPAR and recapturing market share. You will be measured on it, coached on it, and celebrated for it. Here's what that looks like week to week: Working a structured Weekly Success Planner (WSP) that tracks sales activity, pipeline, and revenue outcomes - not just occupancy reports Leading by example in a culture where everybody sells: front desk, housekeeping leads, breakfast attendants - everyone Owning your comp set and knowing exactly why you're winning or losing on any given week Actively developing and coaching your team on revenue-generating behaviors, not just service standards You will go through a rigorous multi-day sales and revenue leadership boot camp with the Pathfinder leadership team before or shortly after starting. This is not optional. It's how we wire the mindset.
