The Mission
- Turn messy on-site reality into calm, clean, scalable systems that the Sr. Director and frontline teams can actually run on.
- Eliminate waste and chaos.
- Convert floor truth into BoltOS standards.
- Free the Sr. Director to lead instead of firefight.
Why This Isn’t a Normal Ops Role
- Bolt Farm Treehouse isn’t a generic boutique hotel. It’s a mountaintop lab rebuilding hospitality from first principles—so couples don’t just vacation, they remember why they chose each other. We’re building America’s most iconic romantic luxury retreat brand — nature-immersed, emotionally transformative experiences with 3,300+ five-star reviews, features in Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and Netflix.
- We’re scaling from a $32M flagship to a $200M+ national portfolio.
We are the
Department of Growth Efficiency (DOGE)
- : anti-bloat, anti-corporate theater, pro-beautiful systems that actually work.
- We need an Operations Orchestrator who treats friction as the enemy and sees a perfect SOP as a work of art.
What You’ll Do
Lead through the team
- Walk the villas with housekeeping, ride with maintenance, sit in on spa and DreamWeaver setups, and jump into front-of-house.
- Build real trust so people tell you what’s actually happening.
- Coach supervisors on consistency and standards—without micromanaging their teams.
Translate floor reality into bulletproof processes
- Turn observations into dead-simple SOPs, photo standards, checklists, and templates that new hires can follow on day one.
- Standardize the moments that matter: arrivals, turnovers, staging, spa, DreamWeaver experiences, and maintenance cycles.
- Convert one-off fixes into reusable playbooks so the same problem never needs a second meeting.
Run the operating rhythm
- Own daily huddles and weekly cadences that keep housekeeping, maintenance, spa, DreamWeavers, and front-of-house in sync.
- Tighten every handoff so requests and issues flow cleanly without chasing.
Build & stress-test the systems
- Treat PMS, BoltOS, task tools, comms, and finance as one integrated ecosystem—find the gaps and close them.
- Partner with tech to embed your processes directly into our custom OS and AI tools.
- Identify automation that removes repetitive work and returns time to guests.
Protect the guest experience
- Every decision is filtered through one question: “Does this make it easier for couples to reconnect?”
- Catch friction before guests feel it. When something breaks, respond calmly, fix the root cause, and update the system.
- You are the Sr. Director’s execution partner. You don’t own the whole property—you make it run 2–3× smoother.
