Not seeing the perfect opportunity today?
Job listings by nature are temporary. This is why a job search can’t be a one time situation. If you really want to find the perfect couples position, you have to watch what becomes available over a period of time.
We can’t predict the future job listings in this section, but if you want to see the types of positions you can expect over time, we suggest you take a look at the archived jobs. These jobs are not currently open, but we keep the titles and descriptions available, so that you can get a better feel for the jobs that do get posted in this category and/or location.
The employers here are a wide mix. They include resorts and conference centers, private clubs, retirement and senior communities, summer camps, nonprofit facilities, marinas and owners with several small properties who want one trusted pair in charge. The structure varies too. Some hire co-managers with equal authority. Others hire a general manager and an assistant manager, or one full-time manager with a partner who works part-time in the office or on maintenance. Many on-site management roles include housing, and some include utilities or a vehicle allowance.
What sets a strong management couple apart is a clear picture of how you share the load. Spell it out when you apply. Who handles budgets, staffing and the owner relationship? Who keeps the physical plant, vendors and schedules on track? Include the size of the teams or properties you have managed, any software you know, and a result or two you are proud of. Owners hiring a pair are betting on how well you work together, so show them.
