The opportunity

About this role

Sea Island is hiring an Assistant Manager for Cottage Rentals in St. Simons Island, GA, at $50,000 to $55,000 per year. You will run the dispatch floor for our cottage rentals maintenance operation, keeping work orders flowing and Breezeway records audit-ready so technicians, vendors, and guests all experience the same Five-Star standard our resort is known for.

Who You Are

  • You are a gracious ambassador who sets the tone with your ethics, your composure, and the way you treat every person who crosses your path.

  • You take pride in clean records and a paper trail that holds up to scrutiny.

  • You love orchestrating people and parts so a technician arrives ready and a guest never sees the work behind the scenes.

  • You are the kind of operator who anticipates needs before anyone asks, on the dispatch floor and across departments.

  • You believe situational awareness is part of the job, noticing the small things and making them right.

  • You bring sound independent judgment when the call is yours to make.

Who We Are

  • Sea Island is home to three Forbes Five-Star experiences, The Cloister, The Lodge, and The Spa at St. Simons Island, GA.

  • We are history and tradition, cherished holidays, and shared experiences old and new.

  • We are s'mores by the fire, long days at the beach, and laughs around the table.

  • Our cottage rentals portfolio helps make those memories possible for the families who visit us.

What You Will Do Each Day

  • Juggle dispatch, vendors, parts, and arrivals at once, rebalancing priorities as the day shifts and guest needs change.

  • Assign work orders and route technicians so every cottage is ready for the family walking through the door.

  • Keep Breezeway audit-ready with tickets properly scoped, time-stamped, and closed with notes, photos, parts, and hours.

  • Coordinate vendors, monitor ticket aging, and step in early when work stalls or a guest experience is at risk.

  • Forecast parts across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliances, sourcing and purchasing within set thresholds so technicians are never waiting.

  • Partner across departments with the same warmth and follow-through you bring to every guest interaction, resolving concerns until they are closed.

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Pay range of $50,000 to $55,000 per year, set by experience.

  • Full-time, onsite role as Assistant Manager in St. Simons Island, GA, with varied hours including nights, weekends, and holidays as business needs require.

  • You work inside a resort built on Forbes Five-Star service standards.

  • You join a team where ambassadorship, craft, and care for the guest experience are the standard.
