Nestled in the heart of Pioneer Square, Hotel Westland is poised to make its grand debut in early 2025, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the breathtaking renaissance of the Railspur District. This historic building, originally constructed in 1907 as the Manufacturers Exchange Building, built of sturdy brick and heavy timber is a testament to the craft of the hands that built it - merging and weaving the historic narratives of the great continental railways and the bustling seaport of Seattle. This soon to be iconic 120 room boutique houses three distinct food & beverage outlets, elevated amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center and meeting spaces designed for socializing, co-working, creating, eating, drinking, and relaxing.
Who You AreYour past experiences have led you to understand that there is an Art + Science to the how and what an HR professional is responsible for; not all remedies can be outlined in a policy or noted in a handbook. You are an advocate for the employees and, in return, understand the strategic direction of the business and how people drive the company’s success. In the past, you have read those articles about why people dislike an HR department and said to yourself, “I agree – I too want to modernize the role and responsibilities of HR.” Your passion for your business has led you to interpret a P&L, understand the current marketing strategy, and challenge the status quo. You continually find ways to partner with your peers to identify a better way of doing things and have the grit and tenacity to see it through.
