Thesocialhub

Business Development Manager

IT-Rome Full Time

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It 

You are the driving force behind our B2B partnerships in Italy. As Business Development Manager, you build strong relationships with companies, universities and institutions that need more than just a place to stay. You open doors, spot opportunities and turn conversations into long-term agreements that fuel our Hotel Stay and Extended Stay business. 

From Rome to Florence to Bologna, you grow a powerful network of partners who see The Social Hub as their go-to destination. You know how to combine big-picture thinking with hands-on sales energy. One moment you are negotiating a contract, the next you are mapping out the next industry to conquer. 

You believe great partnerships are built on trust, value and shared ambition. And when you see potential, you do not wait for it to happen. You make it happen. 

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.

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.
