Cluster Brand & PR Coordinator

Company Description

We are looking for a Cluster Brand & PR Coordinator, to join us at The Hoxton in Amsterdam. From building a strong cultural and entertainment programme, to creating traffic driving F&B activations, to personal touches for guests and strategic partnerships that enhance the experience - you will be responsible for supporting the Brand team on all the above.

A city so good we had to double down! In 2023 we have opened our second Hoxton in Amsterdam, this time based in the Eastern Docklands where we are lovingly taking the reins of the historic former Lloyd Hotel. This beautiful property features 136 bedrooms, including the introduction of some new rooms categories for the Hox, a large ground floor restaurant and huge outdoor terrace, a new bar and The Apartment – our unique meetings and events concept.

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

What’s in it for you…

• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Competitive salary.
• 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays).
• Food on us during your shift.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
• Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
• Hox Hero and Nifty fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values.
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
• Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties – we know how to have a good time!
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.

Job Description

What you’ll do…

• Act as a brand guardian for the Hoxton brand, learning and understanding their positioning, their audience and their personalities.
• Help manage the cultural programming calendar, owning the execution of events.
• Be that key connector between brand, graphic design and hotel ops.
• Build key relationships with multiple external suppliers and partners.
• Get stuck in at all levels from creative conception to those pesky excel sheets.
• Help keep multiple projects going at one time across programming and events, retail and product development, social media and brand activations.
• Think creatively and proactively, as you’ll be involved from conception stage onwards.

Qualifications

What we’re looking for…

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get shit done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.
• Experience and understanding of working on lifestyle brands that are rooted in culture and community.
•  Ideally fluent in Dutch and English, additional languages will be highly valuable.
• Those who know you would describe you as ‘on top of things’ – you know how to keep yourself and others organised and have an eagle eye for detail.
• A curious soul, passionate about creating creative experiences.
• At ease supporting on big projects, and sometimes owning them from start to finish, and a natural communicator.
• A personal network of contacts within a variety of industries for future partnerships for the Hoxton.
• A conceptual, out-of-the-box thinker who inspires others; we’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• The ability to think big, be brave and make things happen.
