The posting
Your mission should you choose to accept it…
We’re the first Social Hub in the United Kingdom and we couldn’t think of a better place to be than in Scotland. Located in the heart of the Merchant district in the city centre of Glasgow, The Social Hub is operating around 500 rooms, retail spaces, a restaurant and rooftop-bar, as well as a thriving co-working community. We’re so much more than just a hotel. Are you ready to reimagine hospitality with us and establish TSH in the heart of the Glaswegian community?
You’re a true team player and captain – driving the daily operations of The Social Hub Glasgow. You oversee the implementation of operational procedures including conversions. You manage and lead your teams towards quality and great financial results. You’re that enthusiastic leader, who helps out and directs the teams to build, maintain and develop a vibrant community. You do this by being commercially driven and able to implement new ideas.
At the same time you're down to earth, managing a P&L and ensuring processes and efficiency are part of the daily routine. You’re driven to support and challenge the brand propositions through sharing best practice revenue generation, profit conversion, guest satisfaction and team member retention.
In case you don’t know who we are
Known for being the rule breakers in hospitality, TSH is a fun, creative and inspiring environment where everyone can work, stay, learn and play and most importantly – be themselves. As an employer we look, act and think like a hotel, but instead we offer a lot more. Think student accommodation, long and short stay options, gyms, talks, events, rooftop bar and eat & drink escapes as well as community and coworking spaces. Located in The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Spain with several new openings on the way, this hybrid hospitality concept may take root in the heart of Europe, but our plans are set for going global.

- You’ll own the full P&L; setting budget, managing actuals and assuring forecasts, controlling and reporting on all areas of the business.
- You’ll review and optimise business activities, processes and ways of working – driving financial performance and adding value.

At The Social Hub, we believe pay should be fair and consistent. That's why we carefully determine your starting salary based on the role, your assessed proficiency, and our salary framework. We make our best and fairest offer upfront, so we don't negotiate salaries. Because fairness shouldn’t depend on who negotiates best.
Who you are, is how we want you to be. To us, hybrid hospitality goes across the board, from how we service our guests to how we represent ourselves. Here, everyone belongs, and we welcome people no matter their nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or culture. Your authenticity keeps our team diverse. Come as you are.
