Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It

Retail at The Social Hub goes way beyond standard shelves and sales; it is all about bringing our vibrant community to life. As our new Retail Experience Manager, you will take a proven, successful pilot and scale it into an exciting, commercially thriving concept across Europe. Working under the Director of Experience, you’ll blend products, tech, operations, and visual storytelling to build an in-house capability from the ground up. You will collaborate with dynamic teams across Brand, Operations, and Finance to shape memorable guest journeys. This is your playground to establish fresh standards, launch new locations, and drive sustainable growth. If you balance sharp business savvy with a creative soul, we want to build the future of hospitality retail with you.  

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, Spain, Portugal, and the UK, 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.

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.
