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
We are looking for someone who brings positive energy and a can-do attitude to every task, whether working independently or as part of a team.

Your keen eye for detail will be crucial as you conduct housekeeping quality audits to maintain our exceptionally high cleaning standards and manage our partnerships with suppliers. Additionally, your strong time management skills, confidence in decision-making and experience in the hospitality industry will set you up for success in this role.

Standard hours are 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM for the morning shift and 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM for the evening shift; however, shifts may rotate based on business needs. The role is primarily hands-on, with most time spent on-site, while some administrative work is also required and must be appropriately managed.
