Vice President of Wellness, Longevity & Performance

Proper Hospitality is seeking a Vice President of Wellness, Longevity & Performance to join our corporate team in Los Angeles.

Position Overview

Proper is scaling a Wellness, Longevity & Performance platform that integrates diagnostics, recovery, and structured lifestyle programming into select properties. This is not a spa expansion, but a revenue vertical intended to increase ancillary capture, extend length of stay, and stabilize seasonality in resort markets. The platform will launch with our upcoming flagship hotel, Lake Tahoe Proper.

The VP will design, launch, and scale the platform, owning product strategy, operating model, clinical partnerships, capital deployment, and financial performance. This role reports to the Founders and works closely with Development, Asset Management, Operations, Commercial, and Brand.

Core Responsibilities

Platform & Product

• Define structured programs and modular services
• Establish the diagnostic and recovery stack for urban and resort formats
• Ensure alignment with Proper’s design-led brand

• Partner with Asset Management to measure longevity-driven TRevPAR lift

Success in This Role

• Achieve defined capture and ancillary revenue targets

• Position longevity as a durable, high-margin contributor to property economics

Why This Is Career-Defining

This role combines real estate integration, P&L accountability, and multi-property scale within a design-led hospitality brand. The leader who succeeds will not simply operate a wellness center. They will build a new revenue vertical inside Proper and help define how longevity integrates into the next generation of luxury hotels.
