We are looking for the founding General Manager of 15Dolcevita

Run the house.

Open position · July 2026 · Manduria, Salento

01
The honest version

This is the ground floor. Not a finished chain property with a manual for every situation, but a ten-building albergo diffuso being born in the old town of Manduria, opening its first suites at Christmas 2026. We are looking for the person who will make it run, and who wants that to be theirs.

02
Who you are

You learned operations and revenue in serious houses, ideally under an international flag. You can price a suite and read a P&L in the same hour. And you are done executing someone else's vision: you want to build your own, in a real Italian town, with the sea fifteen minutes away.

03
The deal, plainly

In a startup nothing is too humble or above your paygrade. One morning you set the revenue strategy, the same afternoon you check a guest in and fix the playlist. You take the honors and the responsibilities, both. This is a co-founder seat, not a clock-in job, with real upside for the right person.

04
What you get

A blank page. The chance to shape the team, the standards and the soul of something new from day one, and a stake in what you build. Salento as your backyard. And the rarest thing in hospitality: a project worth staying for.
