Company Description About Raffles Boston Raffles Boston is a state of mind—an iconic legacy in motion, reimagined for a new era. Since the Raffles Brand founding in Singapore in 1887, Raffles has set the standard for gracious hospitality, cultural curiosity, and legendary service. In Boston, that legacy comes to life as the brand’s North American flagship, blending timeless elegance with contemporary hotel craft in the heart of one of the world’s most storied cities. At Raffles Boston, our people are the soul of everything we do. We are custodians of culture, champions of community, and passionate stewards of meaningful guest experiences. Guided by respect, integrity, belonging, and excellence, we create an environment where every interaction is thoughtful and every moment leaves a lasting impression. Here, guests arrive as visitors, leave as friends, and return as family. Job Description The Opportunity The Hotel Manager plays a pivotal role in launching the Raffles brand in Boston and redefining luxury hospitality in Back Bay. Reporting directly to the General Manager, this role provides strategic leadership and operational oversight across the hotel, ensuring seamless operations, inspired teams, and extraordinary guest and residential experiences.

Leads the development and execution of cross‑departmental action plans aligned to audit results, guest feedback, and brand measures, driving continuous improvement throughout the calendar year—not solely during evaluation periods. Maintains deep understanding of Forbes and LQA criteria, ensuring leaders are equipped, trained, and held accountable for performance against defined standards. Strong command of financial drivers, including forecasting, budgeting, productivity, and cost control across complex, multi‑department operations. Accountable for the timely and accurate preparation of Rooms and Food & Beverage forecasts, with the ability to interpret trends, anticipate risks, and adjust course proactively.

Partners closely with People & Culture and operational leaders to prioritize, implement, and track engagement initiatives that strengthen morale, retention, and performance. Demonstrates the ability to maintain momentum beyond survey cycles by embedding engagement priorities into daily leadership behaviors, departmental goals, and performance discussions. Leads, mentors, and develops senior leaders and department heads, strengthening succession pipelines and long‑term organizational capability. Guides teams through change and complexity with composure, clarity, and empathy, ensuring consistency of communication and alignment. Actively supports hiring, onboarding, and development of operational leadership to ensure cultural fit, leadership readiness, and sustained engagement. Sustains high energy, connection, and a sense of purpose across the organization in a competitive luxury labor market. Guest Experience, Safety & Brand Standards Takes personal ownership of the end‑to‑end guest and resident experience, ensuring service recovery is handled with urgency, discretion, and genuine care. Demonstrates an unwavering commitment to challenging the status quo—consistently questioning how service can be more intuitive, seamless, and emotionally resonant. Actively seeks, tests, and implements innovative approaches to guest service delivery that elevate personalization, efficiency, and moments of magic without compromising brand integrity. Leads with curiosity and ambition, setting expectations that teams continuously push beyond prescribed standards toward exceptional, memorable experiences. Maintains a deep understanding of luxury brand standards, SOPs, and evaluation criteria, while inspiring teams to view compliance as a foundation—not a ceiling. Analyzes guest feedback, quality metrics, and audit results to drive structured improvement plans and sustained excellence throughout the year.
