Our growing portfolio of 90+ homes across Southern California and Arizona combines the best aspects of a home with the brand promise of a high-end boutique hotel and differentiate with our attention to detail and selectivity to deliver guests a truly unique stay. Guests enjoying our portfolio can expect design-driven décor, dramatic views and landscapes, custom pools and spas, well-appointed communal spaces, and high-end finishes and appliances, all overseen by local teams committed to maintaining our high standards.

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for someone who can oversee management of all operations in our fast-growing Temecula market (Temecula, Murrieta, and Fallbrook, California).

The position requires excellent communications, team planning, and project management skills.

As our Senior Operations Manager, we need a self-starter who leads by example and creatively solves problems.
