GENERAL MANAGER - PRE-OPENING HOTEL | SAUDI ARABIA

Major Family Leisure Destination | International Hotel Group

JWR is supporting a leading international hotel group with the appointment of a General Manager for an exciting new-build hotel opening within one of Saudi Arabia's most significant emerging leisure and entertainment destinations.

This is a pre-opening leadership appointment for a substantial, family-focused hotel due to open in 2027.

We are specifically looking for a hands-on, commercially minded hotel operator who understands how to deliver a high-volume family leisure operation efficiently and successfully.

This is not a traditional luxury hotel GM appointment.

The successful candidate will need to be comfortable leading a streamlined operating model where operational efficiency, guest flow, family experience, commercial performance and team leadership will be central to success.

The profile we are looking for:

• Proven General Manager experience within Saudi Arabia
• Fluent/native Arabic and strong English
• Strong understanding of the Saudi hospitality market, culture and operating environment
• Genuine family leisure, resort or high-volume hospitality experience
• Previous hotel pre-opening experience, ideally with direct responsibility for operational readiness and launch
• A highly hands-on and visible operational leadership style
• Experience managing substantial room inventories and high guest volumes
• Strong P&L, budgeting, revenue and cost-control capability
• Proven ability to recruit, develop and lead multicultural teams
• Strong owner, operator and stakeholder management skills
• Comfortable operating within an international branded hotel environment

Of particular interest will be General Managers who have successfully operated family resorts, leisure hotels, destination hotels or high-volume internationally branded properties in Saudi Arabia or the wider GCC.

The hotel will operate a streamlined F&B model without its own traditional hotel-operated restaurant portfolio, so candidates should be genuinely motivated by the wider opportunity, destination and pre-opening challenge rather than the complexity associated with running multiple luxury F&B outlets.

This represents an excellent opportunity to lead a hotel from pre-opening through launch and stabilisation, within a major destination that will play an important role in the continued development of Saudi Arabia's leisure and tourism sector.

Location: Saudi Arabia

Position: General Manager - Pre-Opening
