About us

The Art of Living in Spain is a fully integrated residential and hospitality developer and builder, run by a young, multidisciplinary and international team. At Altaona Resort (Murcia), we are creating an environment designed for longevity, where preventive health, movement, nutrition, rest and community are part of everyday life. Because it’s not about adding years to life, but life to years. This vision comes to life in the WOW Longevity Center and the WOW Longevity Hotel, Europe’s first real estate project inspired by the science of longevity. We are looking for the person who will turn it into an exceptional experience.

Your mission

• Recruit, train and lead a multidisciplinary team, building a culture of excellence, care and continuous improvement.
• Design the full customer journey and oversee every detail: welcome, communication, spaces, follow-up and loyalty.
• Manage the P&L: budget, pricing, KPIs (occupancy, average ticket, retention, NPS) and profitability.
• Select and coordinate external partners: clinics, laboratories, health technology and premium suppliers.
• Ensure compliance with applicable health and quality regulations [confirm whether the center will hold a healthcare licence].
• Work with the resort’s sales, marketing and hospitality teams to integrate the center into the Altaona experience.
• Represent the Longevity Center to clients, investors, media and at industry events.

• Solid knowledge of preventive health, wellness, nutrition, exercise, sleep and biomarkers, and of current trends in longevity.
• You live this lifestyle, not just know about it.
• A background in health sciences, sports science, nutrition or a related field is a plus.

2. Strong leadership experience

• At least 7-10 years of professional experience, including at least 5 in director or management roles.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams of 10+people, including medical or technical profiles.
• P&L, budget and KPI management for a business unit.
• Experience with openings (pre-opening), launches or growing centers, departments or businesses.
• Ability to define processes, service standards and operating protocols.
• Experience negotiating with suppliers and partners.
• Management training (MBA, master’s in hotel management, healthcare management or similar) is a plus.

3. High-end hospitality and customer experience

• A track record in luxury hotels, wellness resorts, destination spas, premium clinics, medical spas or luxury brands.
• Command of luxury service standards and experience personalisation.
• Experience with a demanding international clientele.
• Fluent English is essential; other languages such as German, French, Dutch or Scandinavian languages are a plus.

Personal profile

• An approachable, inspiring and demanding leader who leads by example.
• An entrepreneurial mindset: you’re driven by building something from the ground up.
• Polished in manner, solution-oriented and with obsessive attention to detail.
• Available to work on-site at Altaona (Murcia).

Our values

• Wellbeing as a way of life: we design every home and every service with long-term health in mind.
• Sustainability: we build to energy-efficiency standards, with respect for the environment, which has earned us several European Property Awards.
• Design and excellence: we care about the detail in everything we do, from architecture to the customer experience.
• People, nature and community: we want to connect people with nature and with each other to shape a better way of living.
• Direct, transparent relationships: we work without intermediaries, with closeness and honesty.

What we offer

• The chance to lead a pioneering project in Europe that brings together real estate, hospitality and longevity.
• A place in a young, multidisciplinary and international team with an entrepreneurial mindset and real decision-making power.
• A role with real impact and the autonomy to build your own team and model.
• A unique work setting: nature, sport and sunshine all year round.
• An internationally award-winning company (European Property Awards, GRI Awards 2025).

If longevity is a way of life for you and you know how to turn it into an exceptional experience for others, we’d love to meet you.
