General Manager | voco Muar, Malaysia

A rare
opportunity to lead the first internationally branded hotel in Muar and shape
a new market.

Located in KCC City Business Park, this upcoming voco Muar,
scheduled to open in Q4 2026, will introduce a new hospitality offering to
the city. Featuring 107 guestrooms, three distinctive dining venues, leisure
facilities, and dedicated meeting space, the hotel is well positioned to capture
growing corporate demand, alongside increasing domestic leisure travel.

As
the first international hotel in Muar, this is a true market-entry opportunity —
offering the chance to build the hotel from the ground up, establish
a high-performing team, and position the property as the leading internationally
branded choice in the market.

role

• Lead the pre-opening and hotel launch, from setup through
to stabilised operations
• Take full ownership of the hotel’s commercial
performance and P&L outcomes
• Establish strong market positioning
and build demand across corporate and leisure      segments
•
Partner with ownership to deliver sustainable performance and asset value
growth
• Build, inspire, and lead a high-performing team and culture,
with strong understanding of the Malaysian market and local stakeholder
landscape

What we need from you

• Senior hotel
leadership experience with a strong commercial and strategic mindset
• Track
record of driving results and improving hotel performance
• Experience
in pre-opening, repositioning, or fast-growth environments is a plus
•
Confident stakeholder management with owners and local partners
• Familiarity
with Malaysia or similar markets is advantageous
• Open to high-potential
first-time General Managers 

What
we offer

A leadership role with IHG Hotels & Resorts,
competitive remuneration, and the opportunity to lead a first-of-its-kind hotel
in a growing market. This role also offers long-term career pathways across
Malaysia and the global IHG network.

If you’re ready to lead a pre-opening
hotel and shape its future success, we’d love to hear from you.
