Exceptional Hospitality Starts with You

This role is based at one of our corporate offices in McLean, VA, Dallas, TX, or Memphis, TN

This is your chance to be a part of an in-house Technology team that's creating consumer-facing, cutting-edge technologies revolutionizing the hospitality industry around the world! As a Senior Lead Technical Manager, you will bring your technical skills to a hospitality company with an award-winning culture. On the corporate systems team reporting to the Senior Director of Corporate Systems, you will support projects including deployment of financial and procurement systems across the globe.

What you'll do during a typical day:

• You will collaborate with business technology & process teams, core technology teams, enterprise application and platform owners, external partners and SaaS vendors
• You will have a small team of contractors that report to you directly, but mostly this is an individual contributor role

Deliverables you'll take ownership of:

• Clear plans and decision artifacts that align leadership and guide execution, including project plans, budgets, timelines, steering committee materials, and discussion decks used to inform decisions and secure consensus
• Well‑defined solution and architecture documentation that translates needs into executable designs, such as architecture and data‑flow diagrams, process flows, integration designs, and technical options assessments
• Operationally ready delivery outputs that ensure our solutions support production, including our testing and validation of documentation, our support models, and our transition of materials for ongoing operations

You have these minimum qualifications:

• Seven (7) years of professional experience in Technology or a related field, with demonstrated experience delivering complex, cross‑functional initiatives in an enterprise environment
