General Manager - Beyul Retreat

Beyul Retreat is a vibrant backcountry lodge, retreat center in the Fryingpang Valley, hosting weddings, retreats, corporate groups, and community gatherings. We are seeking a General Manager to lead our dedicated team and carry Beyul into its next chapter of growth and impact.

The ideal candidate is both a team leader and a numbers wizard — nimble, systems-minded, and motivated by the intersection of operational excellence, human optimization, and creative hospitality. You are as comfortable diving into financials as you are supporting your team through a long event weekend, and you thrive on creating systems that allow people and experiences to flourish.

This role is dynamic and seasonal: in the winter months, you will have 4–6 direct reports, while in the summer months you may lead a team of up to 20 staff across multiple departments. You lead with empathy, clarity, and accountability, motivating the team through both high-volume event seasons and quieter periods of refinement in between.

At Beyul, management isn’t just about logistics, it’s about community. This role is both a job and a lifestyle, blending hospitality leadership with the rhythms of mountain life. The General Manager lives onsite, immersed in the guest and staff experience, and helps cultivate a workplace and retreat environment rooted in care, creativity, and adaptability.

Who You Are

  • A proven leader in hospitality, retreat centers, or hotels, with at least 5+ years of management experience

  • Skilled in both big-picture vision and hands-on execution, willing to step into any role when needed

  • Confident in financial management, reporting, and using data to inform decisions

  • Emotionally intelligent, approachable, and experienced in navigating tough conversations

  • Organized, adaptable, and energized by the unique challenge of running a dynamic, rural retreat business

  • Excited to embrace not just a job, but a lifestyle: living onsite and becoming part of the Beyul community
