Vice President Hospitality Maintenance , Administration Operations and Policy Leader - Pacific & Rocky Mountain, Western United States

This is a strategic leadership role responsible for advancing maintenance excellence, asset reliability, and operational consistency across the Mountain Division of a premier luxury resort company operating a portfolio of dozens of high-end resorts, including destination golf and ski resorts.

Reporting to the Vice President, this leader will establish and drive the maintenance strategy, governance framework, technical standards, and operating practices that support safe, reliable, and efficient resort operations. The position will provide enterprise-level leadership across critical asset categories, including ski lifts and conveyance systems, mountain and ground-support fleets, snowmaking infrastructure, and resort buildings and facilities.

Operating across the diverse landscapes of the USA West Coast—from alpine mountains and high plains to arid deserts, expansive sand dunes, and deep canyon environments—the Vice President will develop scalable maintenance programs that address varying environmental conditions, seasonal demands, regulatory requirements, and the distinct operational needs of each resort.

As the Boss of maintenance strategy and standards, this individual will build and lead a high-performing Center of Excellence that strengthens asset performance, optimizes lifecycle costs, improves maintenance execution, and embeds a culture of safety, accountability, continuous improvement, and environmental stewardship throughout the division.

Specialized in golf and ski asset expertise:

Grounds keeping, Lift reliability, snowmaking readiness, fleet availability, and facilities performance are core business priorities that directly affect safety, operating continuity, and guest experience.

Influence through a COE model:

The role must build organizational capability, gain alignment across resort leadership teams, and drive adoption of consistent standards without losing sight of each resort's unique operating environment.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of maintenance across a distinctive portfolio of luxury resorts.

The VP of Maintenance – COE will establish the systems, standards, talent, and operating disciplines that enable individual resorts to perform at their best while benefiting from the scale, expertise, and consistency of an enterprise-wide maintenance organization.

The ideal candidate combines strategic vision with practical operating knowledge, strong financial judgment with a commitment to reliability, and the leadership presence

to influence change across a complex, geographically diverse organization. Through disciplined execution and collaborative leadership, this individual will help ensure that the infrastructure and equipment behind exceptional resort experiences remain safe, reliable, efficient, and ready for every season.
