General Manager

3 weeks ago

Squamish, Canada Hihostels Full time

Are you good at herding cats? What about doing two (or ten) things at once? Have you ever wanted to work in a mansion on the water with a zany cast of loveable characters who look to you for guidance, direction, and the fulfillment of their emotional needs? If so, WELCOME HOME

We are the Squamish Adventure Inn and we want YOU to liven up the place. This is a Management position, but don’t worry, it’s not lonely at the top. You’ll be working with an amazing team of full-time supervisors and part-time Crew from around the world.

JOB DESCRIPTION

As Manager your responsibilities include:

  1. Overseeing the running of hostel operations
  2. Being responsible for the reception and housekeeping departments performance
  3. Scheduling and staffing
  4. Responsibility for HR related to the crew and Management team
  5. Be on-call in the evenings (after your shifts) for emergencies
  6. Developing, documenting, and enforcing policies and procedures
  7. Providing feedback to owners regarding changes and recommendations for the hostel to meet the changing needs of guests
  8. Being on-call for questions, staff shortages, and emergencies
COMPENSATION

We pay our entire team by the hour, not salary, and there’s a very good reason for this. Big businesses love salaried jobs because it allows them to give the Management team tons of overtime and not pay an extra dollar. We compensate our team for every hour worked and every time they’re called in. We want you to go adventuring in Squamish

The General Manager starting salary begins at $30/hr and is reviewed annually. Additionally, we offer a generous bonus structure including annual performance incentives. This is a career position with a small family-owned business

WORK SCHEDULE

Permanent Full-Time (35+ hours per week, usually around 40) and generally you’ll work in the evenings, depending on the day. You’ll also work weekends so you’ll have less competition on the trails and crags on your days off

As General Manager you will also have to drop in from time-to-time to ensure operations are running smoothly and that can’t always be predictable. We always try to keep a consistent work schedule but at times the realities of running a hostel may require additional hours or days with short notice.

WHAT WE OFFER
  1. Full benefits including Life Insurance, Extended Health and Dental, after a 3-month period
  2. 4% vacation pay
  3. Weekly hostel-family dinners and regular events/antics
  4. Dangerous proximity to the best ice cream in Squamish (Narwhals)
  5. A never-ending supply of new faces (our part-time Crew change every 3 months)
  6. Waterfront location in one of the best outdoor playgrounds in the world
  7. We provide a cell phone plan (with Data)
  8. FAM tours with local business and tour operators
  9. Complimentary stays at all HI Canada Hostels
  10. Participation in hostel industry events and conferences
JOB QUALIFICATIONS (GOTTA HAVES)
  1. Fluent English (speaking and writing). Extra languages are a bonus
  2. Extensive experience in a relevant occupation with strong references (Supervisory and customer service experience in the accommodation world)
  3. Criminal Background Check
  4. Valid Driver’s license and vehicle
  5. Basic computer skills
  6. Living in or willing to relocate to Squamish, BC – The Adventure Capital of Canada
APPLICATION PROCESS

If this position sounds like a good fit please send your resume, relevant references, phone number and the best time to contact you to dan@squamishhostel.com.
