BAR MANAGER – BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ

We need an exceptional and passionate leader to join our F&B team in Berlin. If you are an inspiring leader and communicator, a people person through and through and have a genuine desire to be part of something big then your journey should start here. Help us to create an unforgettable experience. Be a part of Europe’s fastest moving, ground-breaking, lifestyle & hospitality brand.

WHO ARE WE

Generator is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we\'re a leading global lifestyle accommodation brand. The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its way to dominating the world. Generator burst onto the scene in the Americas with the launch of Generator Miami and Washington DC and most recently took aim at the country’s biggest markets (NYC, LA, Miami and Chicago) with the acquisition of Freehand Hotels.

No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course, agree. And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention that?) wants a pretty awesome Bar Manager for Generator Alexanderplatz.

Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we love. Cultural action, creative pulse and an outstanding way to waste some of the finite time the universe has given you - that\'s what Generator offers. Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the backdrop, every Generator in every destination reflects the unique beat of that city\'s heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story and brand to life.

ABOUT GENERATOR BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ

Generator and the vibrant life of Berlin: it couldn’t be a better fit. Guess that’s why we have 3 hotels there now - to make sure that everyone coming to Berlin has a fair chance to get the proper Generator experience.

Located just a stone’s throw away from the very heart of Berlin, Generator Alexanderplatz gives you the chance to work in the cultural epicentre of the capital – and welcomes creatives, artists, ravers, musicians, and thrill-seekers from all around the world.

It is currently boasting 132 rooms & 690 beds, being a little gem in our portfolio. Kind of a “no brainer” to take this iconic hotel with us on our Generator journey, give it the best parts of our Generator DNA in order to transform this into a socially driven, loud and welcoming community hot spot (with some kick-ass parties & events, of course).
