Boutique hotels at major outdoor destinations across the U.S.
Trailborn operates a chain of destination hotels positioned at high-traffic outdoor locations—national parks, beaches, mountain towns—with properties live in Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona, and California. The hiring acceleration (74 posts in 30 days) is heavily weighted toward operations (75 roles) and marketing (9), paired with a junior-heavy seniority mix, indicating rapid property expansion and a scaling guest-acquisition engine. The tech stack is traditional hospitality (Toast POS, Opera property-management, CMMS maintenance) with active effort to close Marriott system integration—a signal of either partnership or network-distribution work.
Notable leadership hires: Marketing Director, Director of Marketing, Regional Director of Marketing, Housekeeping Director, Finance Director
