General Manager
position at
Hilton Waikoloa Village .
About the Opportunity As General Manager, you will lead Hilton Waikoloa Village, one of Hawaii Island’s most iconic oceanfront resorts. Spread across 62 acres of lush tropical gardens, waterfalls, and waterways, this destination offers guests unforgettable experiences – from three pools (including the island’s largest waterslide) and a saltwater lagoon teeming with tropical fish, to nine distinctive dining venues, a full‑service spa, and immersive Hawaiian cultural experiences. You will shape and sustain an immersive island‑style guest journey, guiding all facets of resort operations – service excellence, team culture, brand stewardship, recreational programming, F&B innovation, and memorable events. Your leadership will reinforce this resort’s place as a premium destination while nurturing an engaged, high‑performing team.
About This Property Nestled along 62 lush oceanfront acres on Hawaii’s famed Kohala Coast, Hilton Waikoloa Village invites guests into a world of vibrant resort energy and island‑style comfort. With tropical gardens, meandering waterways, air‑conditioned canal boats and trams, the resort feels more like a self‑contained village than a standard hotel. Accommodation spans several distinct towers, each offering comfortable rooms and suites with scenic views of the gardens, lagoon or Pacific. The centerpiece is a four‑acre ocean‑fed saltwater lagoon shimmering with tropical fish and sea turtles, three expansive pools including a waterslide‑equipped “Kona Pool,” and a lively collection of 14 restaurants and lounges. Whether snorkeling in the lagoon, exploring the resort’s “museum walkway,” teeing off on nearby golf courses, or simply soaking up island sunsets, Hilton Waikoloa Village provides memorable Hawaii experiences for families, couples and groups seeking fun and relaxation.
