Business Development Manager - UK
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
The role of Business Development Manager is to elevate Bob W’s performance in the UK, with a focus on London, through identifying, prospecting, securing, managing and growing corporate accounts. This pivotal position is an integral member of our growing B2B Sales Team.
You are an experienced sales professional who can leverage your existing network of travel buyers in the UK and who has the experience and understanding of how to establish Bob W as the preferred accommodation provider in the area.
As a self-starter, you possess the initiative to independently cultivate and foster relationships. Your approach is strategic, leading to profitable revenue generation and fostering strong brand loyalty.
As a vital member of our Commercial Organisation, you are a part of an international team of exceptional individuals focused on customer acquisition, retention, growth and revenue optimisation.
Please note that visa sponsorship is not offered for this role; candidates must already hold a valid work permit for the UK.
