As Director of Human Resources, you’ll be the heart of our people strategy – leading HR operations, shaping workplace culture, and helping our team be their best every day. We’re looking for an inspiring leader who knows how to build strong relationships, champion wellbeing and inclusion, and drive performance through people.

Acting as a trusted advisor to the General Manager and senior leadership on all people-related matters
Championing employee engagement, wellbeing, and a positive workplace culture
Ensuring policies and procedures align with legal standards and company values
Managing performance and development plans to support both individual and organizational growth
Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion across all areas of the hotel
Overseeing payroll, benefits, and HR administration in partnership with relevant teams
What we need from you:
Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or related field; HR certification preferred
Minimum of 5 years’ experience in HR leadership, ideally within hospitality or a similarly fast-paced, people-centric industry
Strong knowledge of employment law, labor relations, and HR best practices
Excellent interpersonal, leadership, and problem-solving skills
Passion for people, with a hands-on and collaborative approach
Fluent in English; additional languages are a plus
