Resort Senior Leader
About The Position
Mountain Capital Partners (MCP) owns and operates a growing portfolio of community-based ski resorts across the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Chile. We are one of the largest ski resort operators in the U.S. (by resort count), with a clear purpose that guides how we work and why we invest: Give People the Freedom to Ski. We believe strong mountains are built by strong operators. MCP leaders understand the mountain, model our values, and are trusted to make real decisions. We operate with fewer layers, clear accountability, and a long-term mindset - investing in our resorts, our people, and the communities that depend on them. This opportunity is a pathway for ambitious, high agency leaders - both those ready to step into broader responsibility and seasoned operators seeking a new opportunity - to explore and be placed in leadership roles both at Mountain Capital Partners resort locations and its headquarters. At MCP, we align your strengths with our needs - whether in roles like high-level Director or Resort General Manager, strategic projects with our home office team, or innovative contributions across our portfolio. You'll lead teams, drive results, and shape resort operations, growth, and skier service while upholding our "Skiing First" philosophy.
