General Manager / Managing Director

We are looking for a General Manager / Managing Director to lead all aspects of a growing hospitality and agritourism business — including boutique accommodation, food and wine experiences, regenerative agriculture, and the coordination of a major infrastructure expansion.

This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role for someone capable of operating at both an executive and operational level. The selected candidate will oversee daily operations while actively contributing to the long-term vision of the company over the next three years and beyond.

Key responsibilities include full P&L ownership across hospitality and wine-related activities, management of cross-functional teams, and close collaboration with ownership to develop new spaces, services, and concepts aligned with the company’s values of authenticity, sustainability, and creative excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee all day-to-day operations, including accommodation and food & beverage
• Recruit, train, and manage a high-performing seasonal and permanent team
• Manage and report on the full P&L, maintaining a strong understanding of cost control, budgeting, and financial forecasting
• Guide and implement a multi-year growth plan that includes construction, renovation of existing houses, and new hospitality concepts
• Help rethink the current restaurant model and shape new wellness offerings
• Coordinate with external partners including architects, contractors, and creative collaborators
• Maintain the highest standards of guest experience and operational aesthetics
• Act as brand ambassador and public-facing voice

Who You Are

You are a builder of experiences — not just a manager. You have an instinct for quality, but you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty. You thrive in settings where beauty, purpose, and pragmatism meet.

You’ve worked in hospitality or lifestyle-driven environments, perhaps led a boutique hotel, a creative retreat, or an independent restaurant group. You’ve seen what it means to deliver service with authenticity, to elevate the everyday, and to build teams that care.

You’re strategic but human, rigorous with budgets but sensitive to craft. You might have lived or worked abroad, but you’re now looking for meaning and connection — to be part of something long-term, something rooted.

You care about sustainability not as a buzzword, but as a way of being. You believe that regenerative thinking, cultural richness, and economic resilience can live in the same place.

Above all, you’re ready to help build a model for the future — of hospitality, of rural life, of creativity on the land.

What We Offer

• A long-term leadership opportunity within a distinctive hospitality and wine venture in Portugal
• A chance to shape an ambitious expansion rooted in sustainability, culture, and design
• A dynamic and creative work culture with hands-on ownership and a committed team
• The opportunity to earn equity or stock options, for the right person committed to growing with us
• A lifestyle aligned with nature, gastronomy, community, and creativity
