General Manager (F/M/NB) - [OPENING]

Job description

Company Description

JO&JOE is a hybrid brand created in 2017 that combines the comfort of a hotel and the conviviality of a youth hostel around a bar and restaurant with a strong identity, an offbeat, surprising, sometimes impertinent tone while remaining inclusive and open to all. We offer a new experience of living together to couples, families, friends on vacation or work colleagues on business trips. The JO&JOE concept offers affordable, home-style catering and a range of events orchestrated by a passionate, multi-cultural team. Embracing a generational philosophy of sharing, spontaneity and enthusiasm for engaging with the world, JO&JOE is open to all and is the meeting point for like-minded travelers and locals. JO&JOE's vision is to expand across Europe and the world's major gateway cities. Our conviction: travel is not a question of means, but of open-mindedness and the desire to meet new people. JO&JOE is part of Ennismore, a creative hotel group rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of brands. Ennismore is a joint venture with Accor, founded in 2021. The JO&JOE adventure is just beginning, and more destinations are planned for the coming years. So join us!

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion: JO&JOE is an inclusive company and our ambition is to recruit and promote diverse talent. Our advertisements are gender-neutral, so the masculine gender is used here to lighten the text.
