SOP Creation & Implementation: Strong experience with developing and implementing processes to optimize operations. Comfort with refining systems in a growing environment is highly valued.
Leadership & Interpersonal Skills: Proven experience in property or hospitality management with strong leadership abilities. Exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to connect with a diverse range of individuals, from ranchers to high-profile vendors.
Problem Solver: Proactive, resourceful, and able to foresee potential issues before they arise. A talent for solving problems with creativity and efficiency.
Discretion & Emotional Intelligence: High emotional intelligence and integrity in handling sensitive and confidential matters.
Technical Proficiency: Comfortable using technology to enhance estate management operations. Familiarity with project management tools and modern household technologies is preferred.
