General Manager

The Hoxton is coming to Hamburg, Germany!

The Hoxton, Hamburg will be home to 188 bedrooms of varying sizes, a rooftop restaurant, a lobby bar, a ground-floor restaurant, as well as our distinctive meeting & events space, The Apartment.

We are now looking for an experienced General Manager to join us and play a crucial role in the successful launch of our hotel, restaurants, and bars.

You will be responsible for leading in our pre-opening period, to help shape the strategy for our newest property and thereafter take responsibility for the day-to-day management of a successful Hox operation and team.

What you’ll do…

• Take full responsibility for the commercial success and overall performance of the property; from P&L, through to budgets, through to planning and forecasting (and re-forecasting).
• Lead by example in creating a brilliant experience for our guests that exceeds their expectations and builds a great reputation for our properties.
• To achieve and maintain the highest possible levels of customer service to both external and internal customers, forging long-term relationships with suppliers and contractors.
• Make sure our brand standards are properly brought to life and to think outside of the box in how we ground the brand in the local market.
• Make our own people a real focus, creating an environment where they feel supported, have opportunities to grow, and enjoy what they do!
• Play a key role in managing the relationship with the central teams and owners.

What we’re looking for…

• A strong hotel operator with local and international experience. If you have previously done an opening, that would be ideal!
• Comfortable handling all commercial aspects, including F&B, and able to strike the balance between commercial decisions and doing what’s right for the brand.
• Passion for providing great guest experiences, rooted in high-quality service that feels natural.
• Someone who leads from the front – you’re only as good as your team, know how to set standards, and motivate & develop those around you.
• Good market & industry knowledge and connections that you can use to make sure the brand makes an impact.
• You’re looking for a place where you and everyone can be themselves, no clones in suits here.
• You’re not precious; we all leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
