Anantara is a brand that seeks to provide a luxury, differentiated, activity-led experience. A place where a guest can develop their own unique memories. Where their experience is infused with the best of local culture, its touches, textures and flavours. Where they are given space and options to create an engaged and emotive journey that is deeply personal to them.

We offer industry professionals the free rein and opportunity to design those unique guest experiences, deliver on our promises and lead a committed and motivated team. We encourage them to set their imagination free and to bring their passion to work while operating in some of the most beautiful and exotic locations in the world.

We want to work with the most committed and talented managers in the industry today. People who want to connect with a brand that is aligned with their own personal motivators and values. We know that there are hospitality professionals to whom this will be instinctively appealing. Defining who we believe they are is the first step in finding them.

Cultural Assimilation.  They have a genuine interest in their country of operation, its social history, traditions, culture and values.  While they may be ‘expatriate’ for the time of their posting, they have an aptitude for getting into a place, for building genuine friendships within the community, and not being seen as an outsider.  They view the non-work experiences of their posting as being enriching to their lives.

Personal Style.  Their own personal style is individual, authentic and genuine.  It may not be ‘corporate’ or traditional (and it may be remarkable), but it will be in keeping with their own social history and values, while also respecting their country of operation.  Their own passion and hobbies in their private lives are aligned with the brand values.

Ability to Energise Others.  They are the sort of person other people are excited to work for.  They inspire a team. They can clearly communicate with their staff, being able to lay out the big picture and clearly define objectives.  They have great sponsorship – good people tell us that they would want to work with this person and for this person again.  They are liked and respected by their staff for creating an environment that reflects and respects their values and culture.

Anticipate the Future.  They have the ability to anticipate changes in the business environment before they occur.  They fully understand the different levers that affect business in their local marketplace.  As a result both their analytical positions and their gut instincts are usually correct.  They can draw accurate business conclusions from disparate pieces of information.
