Location: The Hague (Field-Based Throughout the Netherlands)
Company: DeLola Podshotel
Hours: 32 hours per week (4 days)
Contract: Initial 3-month contract with the possibility of an extension.

DeLola Podshotel is a modern pod hotel located in the heart of The Hague. We welcome travellers from all over the world, including solo travellers, couples, students, professionals, interns, groups and international/local visitors.

Our vision is simple: we want DeLola to become more than just a place to sleep. We are building a hospitality brand that brings together accommodation, community, partnerships and unique guest experiences.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for someone who can actively help put DeLola on the map and introduce our concept to organisations, businesses and communities across the Netherlands.

About the Role

We are looking for a proactive and results-driven Business Development & Partnerships Officer.

This is not a traditional office or reception role.

You will spend three days each week in the field, meeting organisations, building relationships, identifying opportunities and representing the DeLola brand.

Your fourth working day will be dedicated to administration, planning and reporting. This day may be worked from home and will also include your weekly progress meeting with the Operations & Hospitality Manager.

You will report directly to the Operations & Hospitality Manager and work alongside one of our interns, who will assist with research, administration and project support.

We are not looking for someone who waits for opportunities. We aree looking for someone who creates them.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

• Confident and comfortable approaching new people.

• Professional and persuasive when representing a business.

• Organised and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Self-motivated and proactive.

• Comfortable working independently.

• Driven by results and measurable outcomes.

• Passionate about hospitality and business growth.

Graduates and undergraduates are welcome to apply.

Experience in business development, partnerships, hospitality, tourism, sales, marketing or community engagement is considered an advantage.

Fluent English is required and atleast B2 Level conversational dutch.

Dutch is a strong advantage, as many of our potential partners communicate primarily in Dutch.

You should genuinely enjoy walking into a business you've never visited before, introducing yourself and confidently presenting DeLola.

What We Offer

• €2,050 gross per month, including holiday allowance and agreed travel contribution.

• A varied role where no two weeks are the same.

• Freedom to develop and execute new ideas.

• Weekly coaching and support from the Operations & Hospitality Manager.

• The opportunity to work alongside an intern to help execute projects.

• A dynamic environment where your work has a direct impact on the growth of DeLola.

Employees who successfully achieve their agreed KPIs during the initial three-month contract may be eligible for a performance bonus at the end of the contract period.
