About The Position

GENERAL MANAGER Moxy St. Petersburg Downtown Wurzak Hotel Group is on the hunt for a bold, people-first General Manager to take the helm as the Captain of the brand-new Moxy St. Petersburg Downtown, where fun isn’t an afterthought, it is the product. This isn’t just another hotel role. It’s a chance to lead a high-energy, full-service lifestyle hotel and social hub in the heart of buzzing Central Avenue, just steps from Tropicana Field. With 163 stylish guestrooms, immersive communal spaces, and a dynamic rooftop restaurant, pool, and bar scene, Moxy St. Pete is designed for connection, creativity, and unforgettable moments. At Moxy, “Play On” isn’t a slogan, it’s a way of life. Guests check in and enjoy a Got Moxy cocktail at Bar Moxy, collaborate and create in our podcast studio, soak in skyline views from the rooftop pool and Sip N Dip bar, and move seamlessly between work and play. As General Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind the vibe, the culture, and the business. We’re looking for a charismatic, commercially savvy leader who knows how to balance serious operational excellence with unapologetic fun. Someone who leads with confidence, communicates with clarity, energizes teams, and understands that in a Moxy, the experience is the differentiator.
