Job Overview
We are a growing RV park and cabin property in Watford City, North Dakota, looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial manager who can run day-to-day operations and actively grow our occupancy through marketing and networking. This is not a desk job — you'll be equally comfortable closing a deal with an oilfield company's housing coordinator on Monday and cleaning a cabin on Tuesday. If you thrive wearing multiple hats and have a genuine hunger to build something, we want to hear from you.
What Makes This Role Different
Marketing and business development are the core of this position, not an afterthought. Our ideal candidate has a proven track record of filling rooms, building relationships with corporate clients, and thinking creatively about how to drive revenue. The ability to network, make cold calls, and land long-term housing contracts is a non-negotiable requirement. Candidates without demonstrated marketing or business development experience will not be considered.
