We are part of the larger Biogen Wellness venture, which supports sustainable development around the Aghanashini Wetlands.

We are looking for a proactive, entrepreneurial General Manager to oversee all aspects of our pre-opening and ongoing operations. This role demands a leader who is equally adept at managing a budget, training a team, and delivering a seamless guest experience in a distinctive natural environment.

About Kirubeli Cove  Our upcoming 30-key resort is currently under construction, focusing on low-impact design, natural materials, and an immersive connection with the surrounding environment, including the ecologically significant Aghanashini Wetlands (a Ramsar Site).

  • Establish Operational Excellence : Oversee the successful pre opening phase, including developing operational procedures, systems (e.g., PMS, inventory), and standards for all departments : Front Office, Housekeeping, F&B, Wellness, and Maintenance.
  • Financial Management : Create and oversee budgets, control expenses, and boost revenue to meet profitability targets. Responsible for all P&L management.
  • Quality Control : Ensure the resort upholds high standards of guest service, cleanliness, maintenance, and facility presentation across all areas.

2. Guest Experience & Brand Consistency

  • Curate Guest Journey : Lead the development and smooth implementation of all guest experiences, including our signature wellness programmes, local cultural interactions, and nature-based activities.
  • Marketing & Sales Support : Work closely with the Biogen Wellness central team on sales, marketing, and communications to properly position Kirubeli Cove in the market and meet occupancy targets.
  • Guest Satisfaction : Personally oversee guest feedback and apply corrective measures to ensure consistently high satisfaction levels.
  • 3. Team Development & Leadership

  • Recruitment & Training : Recruit, train, and manage a small, dedicated, and high-performing team. Develop comprehensive training programmes focusing on service standards, local knowledge, and sustainability practices.
  • Cultural Development : Promote a positive, respectful, and genuine work environment grounded in service excellence, environmental consciousness, and mutual respect.
  • 4. Sustainability & Community Engagement

  • Implement Sustainable Practices : Ensure daily operations uphold our commitment to sustainability, including waste management, energy / water conservation, and local / ethical sourcing.
  • Local Partnerships : Establish and sustain positive, mutually advantageous relationships with local communities and vendors, emphasising sourcing local talent, produce, and services.
  • Environmental Stewardship : Collaborate with the Panchabhuta Foundation and resort staff to ensure the resort's operations support the conservation goals of the Aghanashini Wetlands.
  • What We're Looking For

  • Minimum of 8+ years of progressive experience in hospitality management, including at least 3 years as a General Manager or Senior Operations Manager of a boutique hotel, eco-resort, or experiential property.
  • A proven track record in successful pre-opening or re-launch phases is a valuable asset.
  • Practical leader with solid operational and financial understanding (P&L experience is essential).
  • Demonstrated passion for and practical experience with sustainability, eco-tourism, or wellness concepts.
  • Excellent communication skills and cultural sensitivity, with the ability to engage effectively with both a global clientele and local partners.
  • A resourceful, solution-focused mindset suitable for managing a small, new resort in a remote, natural setting.
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary aligned with experience.
  • Performance-based incentive or profit-sharing opportunity.
  • Full board and lodging provided at the resort.
