Job description

Regional General Manager — Atlanta

The Gathering Spot is hiring a Regional General Manager to lead operations across our two Atlanta-area locations: The Gathering Spot Atlanta (Northyards) — our flagship membership club — and Retreat, our luxury concept in West Midtown. Together, these two clubs anchor our member experience in our home market and represent the operational and cultural heart of TGS.

This role reports directly to the CEO and oversees the General Managers and senior operations leads at both locations. It is the senior on-the-ground leadership role for TGS Atlanta and Retreat — accountable for member experience, financial performance, team development, and the day-to-day operational excellence that defines a premium hospitality brand. This role includes on the ground management with hospitality hours that can include evenings, weekends and is expected to be on-site during peak service, member events, and major activations.

About TGS

The Gathering Spot is a private membership club for professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs, with locations in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. Founded in 2016, we built a club that did not previously exist for our community — a space where culture, business, and connection happen every day.

What You’ll Own

• Overall P&L performance for both the Atlanta and Retreat clubs
• Member experience and retention across both locations — the standards, the service, the consistency, and the recognition that keep members returning
• Leadership development for the club operations teams at both clubs
• Operational excellence — service standards, food and beverage execution, scheduling discipline, dress code, club cleanliness, and the hundred details that separate good hospitality from exceptional hospitality
• Cross-club coordination between Atlanta and Retreat — including the floating culinary, banquet, and maintenance teams that serve both locations
• Partnership with the Private Events, Programming, and Member Experience & Growth functions to ensure clubs are set up for execution

Who We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive leadership in hospitality, hotels, restaurants, private clubs, or premium experiential brands
• Direct experience leading multi-unit or multi-location operations — you’ve managed managers, not just teams
• On-the-floor leadership at both clubsmodeling the service standard you expect from the team
• A track record of building service cultures that members and guests feel — the kind of operator who walks the floor and can tell you within five minutes whether the night is going well
• Financial fluency — comfortable with P&L ownership, labor models, food cost, and the unit economics of hospitality
• Demonstrated ability to develop people — your former direct reports are your strongest references
• A real sense of brand. You understand that operations is the brand at a premium club, and you can hold service standards without making the team feel surveilled
• Comfort in a fast-moving, owner-led business.This is not a corporate hospitality environment, and the candidate who thrives here will value autonomy and accountability in equal measure
