About Bob W
I’m Bob W, your friend in town. I take the guesswork out of travel, blending the best of both worlds: hotel-grade consistency, local character, and a few surprises only locals would know. Every apartment is fully carbon-offset and set up in Europe’s most interesting neighbourhoods, so you feel at home—just with better coffee and smarter tech. I’m building a new kind of stay: five-star comfort, local flair, and always a step ahead on sustainability. All you have to do is show up. I’ll handle the rest.
The Role
As a Development Project Manager at Bob W, you will lead the expansion of our aparthotel portfolio across Southern Europe and beyond. In this role, you take full ownership of new property deliveries, managing the entire lifecycle from the moment a lease is signed until the doors open to guests. You will work closely with landlords, contractors, and internal stakeholders to negotiate technical lease details, manage budgets, and safeguard project timelines. This is a high-impact, collaborative role within our rapidly growing Real Estate function, allowing you to leverage your deep industry experience to drive strong ROI on every single build.
Your core focus will centre on project managing these aparthotel developments smoothly from inception to launch. To achieve this, you will partner with cross-functional teams to ensure all builds align seamlessly with Bob W's signature brand standards and guest experience goals. Additionally, you will oversee project financials, timelines, and technical negotiations to ensure the ultimate commercial success of our fast-growing pipeline.
