The Role

You will hold full operational and financial responsibility for the asset, working directly with ownership and senior stakeholders. This isn’t a supporting role — it’s a seat at the table.

∙ Comfortable engaging directly with ownership

∙ Based in, or open to relocating to, South Florida

Why This Role

∙ High-profile asset with strong ownership backing and real market presence

∙ Genuine complexity — a mixed-use environment for operators who want more than routine management
