Job Description For People and Culture Manager

THE HOXTON

Company Description

The Hoxton Poblenou in the city of Barcelona is our 11th Hoxton. The hotel boasts 240 bedrooms of different sizes, a large restaurant Four Corners with The Slice shop and La Bodega, a rooftop pool and our taqueria Tope, a bright and airy lobby, a multi-functional basement events space and The Apartment (our unique meetings & events concept).

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.

Reporting to the General Manager and with a dotted line to the VP of People & Culture, you will be responsible for curating all things related to the team.

• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• You'll come with 2+ years' experience as a HR generalist within the hospitality industry.

• Comfortable navigating tricky performance or legal issues when they come up-always aiming for a fair, people-focused approach.
• Confident with budgeting and forecasting, and happy to dive into the numbers when needed.
• A people person at heart, but with a head for planning and detail.

• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.
