What are the responsibilities and job description for the General Manager | Newark Marriott Courtyard UD position at Courtyard Newark At 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
