Hotel Manager – Amritsar, Punjab, India Full-Time | Accommodation Provided (to be discussed)
About Us
Located in the heart of Amritsar, our boutique hotel sits just moments from one of the world's most visited and spiritually significant landmarks — the Golden Temple. We are a growing hospitality business under New Zealand ownership, bringing a warm, guest-first philosophy and international standards to one of India's most iconic destinations.
This is an exciting time to join us. We are expanding, with ambitions to operate multiple properties across the region, and we are looking for the right person to grow with us.
About the Role
We are seeking a talented and driven Hotel Manager to take ownership of our Amritsar property and help shape the future direction of our hospitality group. This is far more than a standard management role — for the right candidate, it represents a genuine pathway to a General Manager position overseeing a portfolio of hotels.
You will work closely with the New Zealand ownership team, benefiting from a collaborative, open management style and real investment in your professional growth. On-site accommodation is provided, placing you right in the centre of one of India's most vibrant and culturally rich cities.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead all day-to-day hotel operations including front office, housekeeping, food and beverage, maintenance, and guest services

- Recruit, mentor, and develop a high-performing team aligned to our service values
- Manage budgets, occupancy, and revenue performance, reporting directly to the owners
- Handle guest feedback with professionalism and a genuine commitment to resolution
- Ensure full compliance with local regulations, health and safety standards, and licensing requirements
- Build relationships with tour operators, pilgrimage groups, travel agents, and corporate clients
- Contribute to the strategic growth of the business as we expand our property portfolio
- Work alongside ownership to develop systems, standards, and culture that can scale across multiple sites
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in hotel or hospitality management, ideally within India or a similarly dynamic market
- Strong leadership skills with the ability to build and inspire a team
- A guest-obsessed mindset — you understand that every visitor to this region arrives with high expectations and deep personal meaning attached to their journey
- Commercial awareness and comfort managing budgets and operational KPIs
- Excellent English communication skills; additional languages are an advantage
- Ambition — you are not looking for a role to stand still in, but one to build something from
- Cultural sensitivity and an appreciation for the unique character and significance of Amritsar as a destination
- Familiarity with property management systems and standard hospitality software
What We Offer
- Competitive salary package commensurate with experience
- On-site accommodation included
- Performance-based incentives tied to hotel and guest satisfaction results
- A direct working relationship with the ownership team — no corporate layers, real conversations
- A clearly defined pathway to General Manager, overseeing multiple properties as the group grows
- The opportunity to help build something from the ground up in one of India's most extraordinary locations
