    Sandford
    Full time

    Hands On Management in the Outdoors | Spring to Fall 2027 | Free Private Housing

    What if your workplace was a forest retreat just a short drive from the Maine coast?

    We're looking for a motivated Assistant General Manager to support the General Manager in running the site and delivering a great experience for both guests and employees.

    The Role

    As Assistant General Manager, you'll be a key part of the site's leadership team, working alongside the General Manager to coordinate daily operations and support the team throughout the season.

    This is a hands-on role in a seasonal hospitality environment. One day you might be helping coordinate the restaurant and guest services; the next, supporting the team, handling an operational challenge, or making sure the site is ready for arriving guests.

    You'll need to be comfortable taking initiative, adapting to changing priorities, and getting involved wherever needed. You'll also have the opportunity to develop your management skills within an international company while contributing to the continued success of the site.

    Your main responsibilities will include:

    • Daily operations: Help coordinate accommodation services, reception, housekeeping, the restaurant, the camp store, and on-site activities.

    • Team support: Assist with onboarding, training, scheduling, communication, and day-to-day supervision.

    • Guest experience: Ensure a welcoming atmosphere, respond to guest requests, and help resolve issues efficiently.

    • Food and beverage operations: Support service, stock management, and the smooth running of the restaurant and café activities.

    • Site upkeep: Monitor cleanliness, grounds, facilities, and equipment, and coordinate maintenance needs.

    • Operational leadership: Work closely with the General Manager and help oversee site operations when needed.

    Who We're Looking For

    We're looking for someone who enjoys hospitality, takes initiative, and is ready to take responsibility.

    • Previous experience in hospitality operations or team supervision is required. Experience in a campground, resort, hotel, or similar establishment is a strong asset.

    • You're hands-on, proactive, and comfortable working across different operational areas.

    • You enjoy working with people and know how to support and motivate a team.

    • You're resourceful, adaptable, and able to make sound decisions independently.

    • You're comfortable with the pace of seasonal hospitality, including busy summer periods and changing priorities.

    • You're willing to lead by example and step in when the team needs support.

    • You're interested in developing your management skills and taking on broader responsibilities.

    • You enjoy working in an international environment with a French company and a collaborative team culture.

    Applications from individuals and couples are welcome. The on-site accommodation is suitable for one person or a couple.

    Position Details
    • Location: Huttopia Southern Maine, Sanford, Maine

    • Start date: Late March to early April 2027

    • Contract: Through the end of November 2027

    • Potential for a year-round position: Depending on business needs and mutual interest

    • Compensation: Open to discussion based on experience

    • Housing: Free, private, fully equipped on-site accommodation provided for the duration of the contract

    Benefits
    • Free private on-site housing

    • Three weeks of accrued PTO

    • Five paid holidays

    • 401(k) retirement plan eligibility after one year, subject to plan terms

    • Employer contribution covering 50% of health insurance premiums

    Important Employment Information

    Applicants must already be authorized to work in the United States. Huttopia is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position.

More about Huttopia Southern Maine

There’s nothing quite like the southern coastal area of Maine. There are beaches and inlets to explore, thick pine forests, one-of-a-kind treasures and crafts, and much more – and located in the heart of it all is Huttopia Southern Maine, where a deep freshwater pond and mature forest set the stage. We have a central lodge that is the hub of many activities at Huttopia Southern Maine, with walls that open wide to the outdoors. There, we sell pizza's or crepes made fresh to order, refreshing drink and more.

Huttopia invites its clients to disconnect from everyday life, to get closer to nature, to reconnect with their loved ones and to discover new horizons and new cultures.

Then welcoming families, often city dwellers, who are looking to stay in simple and direct contact with nature, to relax and discover the region together in an environmentally-friendly manner."
