Senior Development Project Manager - German-speaking

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

As a Senior Development Real Estate Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of new Bob W properties across Europe, from lease signing through to opening day. You’ll play a key role in negotiating technical lease terms, managing project timelines and budgets, and driving strong ROI on every build.

As part of the Development team, you’ll work hands‑on with landlords, contractors, and cross‑functional teams to bring each property to life, ensuring it meets Bob W’s brand standards and delivers an exceptional guest experience. This is a collaborative, impact‑driven role at the heart of our fast‑growing Real Estate function.
