Vice President of Operations

Are you a hotel operations executive who knows how to turn strong leadership into stronger results?

Total Management Systems (TMS) is seeking a driven, highly accountable Vice President of Operations to lead performance across our growing hotel portfolio.

This position is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

At TMS, “We’ve Got Your Back” is more than a saying—it defines how we lead.

As Vice President of Operations, you will:

• Lead and develop General Managers across the hotel portfolio.
• Drive hotel revenue, profitability, labor productivity and expense control.
• Review P&Ls and operational performance to identify opportunities and drive corrective action.

• Drive guest service results that meet or exceed brand benchmarks.
• Ensure operational excellence, brand compliance and QA readiness.
• Provide oversight and leadership to hotel Food & Beverage operations.
• Partner with Sales and Revenue leaders when hotels are not achieving topline expectations.

• Know how to develop General Managers while holding leaders accountable for results.
• Have strong knowledge of branded hotel operations, guest service metrics and quality assurance.
