About Bob W

Bob W is a fast-growing aparthotel company providing an authentic 5-star experience to every single guest at scale while leading the world’s transition to sustainable hospitality.

Bob’s apartments cater to the 21st-century traveller who wants it all: the consistent quality of a hotel and the authentic flair of a short-stay rental. We combine the best of both worlds in our climate-neutral apartments in the coolest neighbourhoods across Europe. As we expand, fuelled by venture capital and investment from top-tier real estate equity firms, we are building the technology to give every guest a local five-star experience at scale.

The role

As a Distribution Associate, you will work closely with the distribution and e-commerce team to ensure the success of our commercial launch process. You will assist with the implementation of our PMS and distribution systems as we scale across Europe, regularly launching multiple new properties. Speed and efficiency will be essential, and a "get it done" approach will be your style. In this role, you will co-own the integrity and optimization of our online presence, demonstrating a passion for e-commerce and a deep understanding of the online retail market in the travel and lodging marketplace.

Furthermore, you will be responsible for:

• Assisting in setting up PMS, RMS, and GDS systems to support success in online distribution during pre-opening and new launch phases.
• Setting up new OTA/sales channels for distribution and documenting these processes.
• Co-owning the discounting strategy, with an understanding of the ROI from available options.
• Overseeing content optimization and active management to drive conversions.
• Managing the distribution performance on direct and indirect channels, including account management.
• Carrying out regular market observations and benchmarking to identify trends and innovations and deriving concrete recommendations for action.
• Assisting with rate loading.

Our 5-star candidate has:

• 2+ years of experience in Hotel Distribution and/or Hospitality Commercial Management (mixed-use and/or serviced apartment experience is a bonus!).

• An understanding of online presence and rate parity obligations and their impacts.
• Experience targeting both B2B and B2C clients across various online channels.
• A technical skill set in PMS, CRS, GDS, and OTA systems (experience with Mews, Siteminder/channel managers, and RMS is a bonus!).
• Strong analytical thinking, quick grasp, initiative, and the ability to work independently and creatively in a team.
• Experience in a fast-moving, start-up/scale-up environment is preferred but not essential.
• Top-notch oral and written communication skills in English.

We offer:

• The opportunity to revolutionise hospitality by shaping a young and dynamic tech company with huge growth ambitions.
