The General Manager will lead the overall operation of Qabila Westbay, an Autograph Collection hotel in Doha, Qatar. Responsibilities include setting the hotel’s commercial strategy, overseeing guest service, rooms, food and beverage, finance, sales, people development, compliance and owner relations. Candidates are typically expected to have substantial senior leadership experience in upscale or luxury hotels, strong financial and revenue-management skills, and a successful record of improving guest satisfaction and profitability. Experience with Marriott standards or another international hotel group is highly desirable. The role requires strategic thinking, cultural awareness, excellent communication, sound judgment and the ability to motivate a diverse, multicultural team.
Qabila Westbay Hotel is a planned hospitality property in Doha, Qatar, operating under Marriott International’s Autograph Collection brand. Autograph Collection hotels are individually designed properties with distinctive identities, local character and a strong focus on memorable guest experiences. Located in the West Bay area, the hotel is positioned to serve business travellers, leisure guests, events and visitors exploring Qatar’s capital. As part of Marriott’s global network, the property is expected to benefit from international operating standards, reservation systems, loyalty-programme access and broad commercial support, while maintaining its own personality. The General Manager will likely work closely with hotel ownership, Marriott corporate teams, local partners and a multicultural workforce to establish the property’s market position and deliver strong operational and financial performance.
Qatar is a compact Gulf country rather than an island, with Doha as its main business and employment centre. Hospitality, aviation, tourism, retail, construction, technology, healthcare and professional services provide many opportunities, particularly for experienced international managers. Arabic is the official language, while English is widely used at work. The culture combines Islamic traditions with a highly international lifestyle; modest dress, respect during Ramadan and awareness of local customs are important. Residents enjoy modern malls, restaurants, museums, beaches, desert trips and water sports, although summers are extremely hot. Most expatriates require employer-sponsored work and residence permits, with medical checks and document attestation commonly involved. Employers may provide accommodation or an allowance, transport, health insurance and annual flights. Before relocating, confirm the package, housing location, schooling, contract terms and visa sponsorship.
