Description

A challenging opportunity has become available for a highly personable and experienced Operations Manager to join our senior management team. Leading the team in support to the GM, this role is responsible for the day to day operations of the business. The focus is to create and motivate a great team culture, ensure the brand standards and policies are met and guests have a brilliant experience.

WHO ARE WE

Generator is redefining social hospitality. Born in London, we've grown into a global lifestyle brand with unique properties across Europe and the US. Recognised as one of Fast Company's Top 50 Most Innovative Companies globally, we're passionate about creating spaces where everyone can be themselves.

Backed by Brookfield, we're entering an exciting new phase of growth, with ambitious plans for the future. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we're committed to creating an environment where they can thrive.

ABOUT GENERATOR VENICE

It’s not hard to find beauty in a marble city built on a lagoon, but away from the obvious sights and monuments, across bridges, down backstreets and into secret squares, you’ll discover the hidden corners where Venetians hang out. Because if you want to find the real Venice, you have to get lost.

Generator Venice stands on the waterfront of the island of Giudecca, one short stop on the Vapporetto from Piazza San Marco. This hostel was originally a warehouse, so the building blends history and character with contemporary design features.

Inside the Generator Venice hostel you’ll find luxurious mosaic floors, a glass chandelier and an imposing stone fireplace. Public spaces are subtly split into intimate and open-plan areas – all surrounding the bar and café. Every room has a view of either the gardens, Lido, Grande Canal or the iconic San Marco. Not bad for a hostel, aye?

  • Support the General Manager across all departments, and deputise in their absence
  • Be responsible for leading, developing and implementing a regular programme of creative, revenue-driving events and - initiatives within the hostel
