As Manager, Hotel Openings & Transitions, you will manage a portfolio of new construction openings, conversions, internal brand-to-brand changes, and hotels departing the Hilton system across the U.S. and Canada. Reporting to the Director, Hotel Openings & Transitions, you will collaborate with owners, management companies, hotel leaders, Hilton Commercial Performance teams, Global Brand Organizations, and cross-functional partners to support operational readiness, accurate system and content setup, performance delivery, service optimization, and brand compliance. You will serve as a main point of contact throughout the opening or transition process, helping stakeholders complete critical milestones and position each hotel for a successful entry into, or transition from, the Hilton portfolio.

What you'll do during a typical day:

Facilitate hotel opening and transition task items using Hilton's online opening software, supporting tools, and required documentation.
Manage a portfolio of new construction openings, conversions, internal brand-to-brand changes, and hotel exits, monitoring progress and escalating issues that may affect readiness or opening timelines.
Complete unique or expedited openings where critical tasks must be completed accurately within a compressed timeframe.
Develop practical solutions for opening challenges, including limited hotel-level support and special requests involving technology, service levels, or product requirements.
Contribute to team procedures, tools, and programs that improve the opening and transition process, while communicating effectively with internal and external stakeholders.

How you'll collaborate with others:

Partner with owners, management companies, hotel leaders, Hilton Commercial Performance teams, Global Brand Organizations, and cross-functional partners to support successful execution and operational readiness.
Act as the liaison with Revenue Management Hotel Openings and coordinate with Technology, Quality Assurance, Architecture, Design & Construction, and other partners to help ensure hotels are prepared to open and positioned for success.
Ensure that hotel information is accurate, fully enhanced, and sellable after the initial hotel build in applicable Hilton systems, including GDS, PIM, CRS, and Hilton's brand websites.

Projects you'll take ownership of:

Coordinate the initialization of new hotels across Hilton Sales Worldwide, Brand Marketing, Global Distribution Management, Hilton Reservations Worldwide, Global Distribution Systems, Online Travel Agencies, and Hilton Honors.
Monitor overall hotel progress, keep assigned projects on target, identify risks, and drive timely completion of opening and transition requirements.
