Love people, organization, and hospitality?
Ready to be part of something from the ground up?

We’re opening an exciting dual-branded Hyatt hotel at the Portland Airport, bringing together the extended-stay comfort of Hyatt House and the vibrant, independent spirit of Mindaro (a JdV by Hyatt brand). This unique property will feature a dynamic guest experience, including a robust food & beverage operation—and we are building the team that will bring it all to life.

We are looking for an HR Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and is excited to play a key role in launching a brand-new hotel. This is a rare opportunity to shape the culture, build the team, and set the tone from day one.

 

What You’ll Do

This role will be highly focused on pre-opening hiring, onboarding, and training, while also supporting day-to-day HR operations.

  • Lead full-cycle recruitment to build a high-performing hotel team ahead of opening
  • Coordinate and support onboarding for all new team members
  • Partner closely with hotel leadership to support staffing needs and team development
  • Maintain employee records and support payroll processes
  • Serve as a visible, approachable HR resource for team members and leaders
  • Help ensure compliance with employment, wage & hour, and safety regulations
  • Support and coordinate training initiatives and team engagement activities
  • Assist in building a positive, inclusive, and service-focused workplace culture

 

What We’re Looking For

  • HR experience in a fast-paced, people-focused environment
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • A hands-on, team-oriented approach with a passion for hospitality
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • Comfortable with HR systems and administrative processes
  • Hotel or hospitality experience strongly preferred
  • Bilingual (Spanish) a plus

 

Why You Will Love It

  • Be part of an exciting hotel opening and help build a team from the ground up
  • Opportunity to make a lasting impact on culture, engagement, and team success
  • Work in a dynamic, fast-paced, and collaborative environment
  • Competitive benefits including health insurance, paid time off, and 401(k)
  • Hotel discounts and growth opportunities within a growing hospitality company

 

A Note on This Role

This is a high-impact, high-energy position, especially in the months leading up to opening. If you enjoy building, creating, and being in the middle of the action, this is an incredible opportunity to make your mark.
