Cluster General Manager
Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh and Courtyard by Marriott Aberdeen Airport
Two distinctive hotels. Two important Scottish markets. One exceptional leadership opportunity.
Marriott International is seeking an experienced and commercially astute Cluster General Manager to lead the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh and Courtyard by Marriott Aberdeen Airport.
The Cluster General Manager will provide clear strategic direction across both properties, ensuring that each hotel reaches its full potential while retaining its individual identity, market positioning and guest proposition.
The opportunity
At the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh, the focus will be on strengthening the hotel’s position within one of Europe’s most dynamic city destinations. The successful candidate will drive commercial performance, elevate the guest experience and lead a complex operation spanning accommodation, food and beverage, spa, meetings and events.
At Courtyard by Marriott Aberdeen Airport, the Cluster General Manager will lead an efficient, focused and commercially responsive operation. Success will require a strong understanding of the corporate, airport and energy sectors, alongside the ability to respond to changing patterns of demand.
Together, the hotels provide an exciting leadership platform for a General Manager who can move confidently between different brands, customer segments and operating environments.
Key responsibilities
- Provide strategic and operational leadership across both hotels, establishing clear priorities for each property.
- Deliver sustainable revenue, profitability and market-share growth.
- Strengthen the positioning and commercial strategy of each hotel within its respective market.
- Maintain the highest standards of guest experience, operational execution and brand compliance.
- Build, engage and develop high-performing leadership teams across both locations.
- Create a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.
- Work closely with ownership and Marriott’s regional and discipline leaders, communicating performance, opportunities and risks with clarity.
- Develop strong relationships with local businesses, tourism partners and key stakeholders in Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
- Ensure both hotels operate responsibly, safely and in line with Marriott’s values and business expectations.
About you
You will be an accomplished hotel leader with experience managing a complex, full-service hotel operation. Previous multi-property or cluster leadership experience would be advantageous, although we would also welcome applications from established General Managers ready to broaden their portfolio.
You will bring:
- A strong record of delivering commercial and operational performance.
- Experience within an internationally recognised upper-upscale or luxury hospitality brand.
- Broad operational expertise, including rooms, food and beverage, meetings and events, and ideally spa or wellness.
- The ability to adapt your leadership approach across different hotel models and market conditions.
- Strong financial acumen and confidence in revenue, forecasting and business planning.
- Experience building trusted relationships with owners and senior stakeholders.
- A visible, engaging and people-focused leadership style.
- The ability to develop strong executive teams and build effective succession pipelines.
- The flexibility to maintain a meaningful presence at both properties and travel regularly between Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
