Sorrento, Campania, Italia The Hire Ground co. Tempo pieno

The Hire Ground is a hospitality recruitment specialist working with some of Australia's most respected venues and operators. We're proud to be partnering exclusively with Hotel Sorrento to find their next General Manager.

General Manager - Hotel Sorrento

Held by the same family for three generations, Hotel Sorrento is one of the Mornington Peninsula's most iconic hospitality destinations. Following a major redevelopment, the property continues to be recognised as one of Victoria's leading multi-venue hotels, and is now seeking an experienced General Manager to lead it into its next chapter.

This is a genuinely diverse property to run: premium accommodation sits alongside seven distinct food and beverage venues, giving the successful candidate a broad and varied commercial mandate. Trade builds to an extremely high tempo over the summer peak, when the Peninsula's seasonal visitor numbers surge, making this a fast-paced, high-volume operation for several months of the year alongside a steadier shoulder and winter season.

The role carries full P&L accountability across accommodation and all seven food and beverage venues, with genuine autonomy and close day-to-day partnership with ownership.

The Role

  • Full operational and commercial leadership across premium accommodation and all seven F&B outlets
  • Driving revenue, profitability, and performance across a diverse, multi-venue business
  • Managing the operational intensity of an extremely busy summer peak trading season, while maintaining service standards and team wellbeing year-round
  • Leading the business through its next phase of growth following a significant recent investment
  • Working alongside an established, experienced on-site management team
  • Day-to-day partnership with ownership on strategic and commercial decisions
  • Championing a values-led culture centred on family, honesty, community, and wellbeing

About You

  • Proven experience as a General Manager or senior multi-site hospitality leader
  • Strong multi-venue food and beverage leadership background, ideally including premium accommodation
  • Experience operating in high-volume, seasonally driven environments, comfortable leading a team through an intense peak period
  • Genuine commercial acumen with a track record of driving performance
  • Comfort operating within a privately owned business with close ownership involvement
  • A values-led, hands-on leadership style
  • Openness to relocating to coastal Victoria

This role would also suit candidates without direct hotel experience who bring strong multi-site or group operations leadership across high-volume trade.

What's On Offer

  • Executive salary package and bonus structure
  • Relocation support provided for the right candidate
  • The opportunity to lead one of Victoria's most awarded and admired hospitality businesses
  • Genuine autonomy, trust, and influence over the business
  • Start date targeted for October to November 2026
