Hotel Operations Manager

Your Mission should you choose to accept:

Together with the Hotel Manager and the Operations team, you are responsible for running a smooth TSH operation in our Rotterdam hotel. You'll oversee all 'Front of house'-areas, such as reception, coworking and our unique food & drink outlets.

As our Community Manager, you're always open and available with a friendly smile - for your team or to meet every need of the TSH community (but also answering the questions of random strangers). You make sure that the team provides the highest level of service, always delivering on what sets TSH apart; our guest experience. You keep a constant eye on a clean, safe and inclusive working environment, as well as meeting all financial goals for sales and expenses. What would we do without you?

In case you don’t know who we are:

TSH is a game-changer. Our unique hybrid hotel concept offers student accommodation as well as long and short stay options for students-at-heart, together with epic facilities and exciting co-working spaces. You can already find The Student Hotel in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Spain. And with still to be opened properties in Madrid, Barcelona and Toulouse, our unique hospitality concept is truly taking root in the heart of Europe.
