General Manager | Newark Marriott Courtyard UD

Now Hiring: General Manager

Lead a Courtyard by Marriott — Shape the Next Generation of Hospitality Leaders

Are you ready to lead more than a hotel?

We are seeking an exceptional, forward-thinking General Manager to lead our full-service Courtyard by Marriott property — while also serving as an Adjunct Professor in partnership with a leading university hospitality program.

This is not a traditional GM role.
This is a legacy-building opportunity.

You will drive financial performance, operational excellence, and guest satisfaction — while partnering with the university to provide mentoring, teaching, and inspiring future hospitality professionals through a fully integrated, hands-on hotel practicum program.

If you are a proven hospitality leader who believes in service, innovation, and developing people, this is your platform.

This position uniquely blends:

• Executive hotel leadership
• Community influence
• Talent pipeline development
• Brand excellence within the Courtyard by Marriott portfolio

• Academic engagement and teaching 

  You won’t just operate a hotel — you’ll operate a living classroom.

• Full operational oversight of a dynamic full-service Courtyard by Marriott hotel
• Revenue growth, GOP performance, and strategic asset management
• Brand standards execution and guest experience excellence
• Sales strategy, market positioning, and community engagement
• Development and mentoring of department leaders
• Serve as Adjunct Professor within the University’s Hospitality Program
• Deliver an immersive practicum course hosted inside the hotel
• Mentor and coach hospitality students

We’re searching for a leader who is:

• A proven General Manager or senior hotel executive
• Financially savvy and performance-driven
• Passionate about developing people 
• A natural mentor and confident public speaker
• Community-connected and relationship-oriented
• Energized by innovation and experiential learning
• Minimum of seven (7) years of progressive hotel leadership experience
• Marriott brand experience a plus
• Teaching, training, or mentoring experience strongly valued
• Master’s degree required
