GENERAL MANAGER
This is your opportunity to lead one of the coolest boutique hotels on the planet, nestled between the mountains and ocean in vibrant Squamish, BC. If you’re a dynamic leader who thrives on autonomy, loves solving problems, and gets fired up about systems, people, and brand—read on.
THE VIBE
Crash Hotel Squamish isn’t your typical boutique stay. We’re perched above some of the loudest, liveliest bars in town—so this isn’t for light sleepers. We have no parking, but we more than make up for it with our chill, dog-friendly, bike-friendly energy and unbeatable location.
Guests come for the access to adventure, stay for the vibe, and remember us for our style, attitude, and ease. We’re a frictionless, personality-filled basecamp for mountain bikers, weekend warriors, creatives, and urban escape artists. We’re proud to be different—and our guests love us for it.
THE ROLE
You’re not just managing a hotel—you’re the heartbeat of the operation. From revenue and guest experience to facilities and staffing, you lead it all. We have a small team, so you are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and executing any task from cleaning rooms to changing light bulbs. While this is a 24/7 business, you’ll have the flexibility to build strong systems and a supportive team to keep it sustainable.
This role is perfect for someone ready to grow a business like it’s their own. You’re not micromanaged. You’re expected to lead, take initiative, and drive results.
THE RIGHT FIT
You’re a self-starting entrepreneur who loves creating systems and bringing order to chaos.
You lead naturally and enjoy working independently.
You’re a versatile operator—part strategist, part problem-solver, part doer.
You care deeply about quality, team morale, and building something meaningful.
You see both the big picture and the fine details, and you love a good challenge.
You’re equally comfortable with tech, tools, hospitality, and construction fixes.
You inspire others with your energy, optimism, and can-do mindset.
You are not above any task and lead by example—whether it’s checking in guests, cleaning a room, or unpacking boxes.
