Calling Future Deputy General Managers

DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGERS – HOTELS

Opportunities in Gauteng, Durban, Mbombela, Cape Town & Port Elizabeth

The strongest hospitality leaders are usually not actively job searching.
They’re already busy leading teams, supporting operations, driving guest satisfaction and holding hotels together during the busiest moments.

But the right opportunity can still catch their attention.

We are currently recruiting experienced Deputy General Managers for multiple hotel opportunities across:

  • Gauteng
  • Durban
  • Mbombela
  • Cape Town
  • Port Elizabeth

These roles are suited to operational hospitality professionals who understand the pace, pressure and expectations of modern hotel environments and are looking to join a fast growing hotel group with long-term growth potential.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting full hotel operations alongside the General Manager
  • Driving guest service excellence and operational standards
  • Leading and developing department heads and teams
  • Managing daily operations, staffing and performance
  • Assisting with budgets, revenue performance, and cost controls
  • Ensuring smooth operational delivery across all departments

We’d Like to Connect With People Who

May currently be:

  • Deputy General Managers
  • Operations Managers
  • Resident Managers
  • Senior Hotel Managers
  • Rooms Division or F&B leaders ready for broader operational responsibility

And who:

  • Thrive in fast-paced hospitality environments
  • Lead with professionalism and accountability
  • Understand both guest experience and commercial performance
  • Build strong teams and positive cultures
  • Are ready for the next step within a professional hotel group

Why These Opportunities Stand Out

  • Multiple locations across South Africa
  • Career progression within established hotel group
  • Strong operational support structures
  • Professional, growth-focused environments
  • Confidential discussions welcomed

You don’t need to be actively looking to explore whether one of these opportunities could be the right fit for your next chapter.

If you’re open to a confidential conversation, we’d love to hear from you.
