Responsibilities
- Own the Inner Circle Loyalty Programme: Develop strategy for CRM journeys, member value, and referral mechanics using tools like Twilio Segment and Revinate to drive repeat bookings and lifetime value.
- Lead Opening Readiness: Partner with Property and Ops teams to ensure every new launch is on-brand and guest-ready, coordinating everything from photography and content to in-property standards.
- Co-own the Guest Insight Loop: Aggregate signals from guest feedback sources (Intercom, Revinate) and translate them into prioritised, actionable improvements across the business.
- Support building the Local Partner Network: Collaborate with the Real Estate and Operations teams to source and onboard neighbourhood businesses that shape guest experience, building a structured partnership program.
- Govern Guest Communications: Maintain and evolve high standards for all guest-facing touchpoints, including Intercom macros, Messenger templates, and transactional emails.
- Support Supply-Side Credibility: Help shape the narrative that positions Bob W as a professional, trusted operator for real estate owners and landlords.
- Protect Local Reputation: Manage community relations at the property level, ensuring Bob W remains a "good neighbour" through proactive communication and local engagement.
- Drive Efficiency with AI: Integrate AI tools into daily workflow for insight synthesis, reporting, and production, improving quality and speed.
- Align Cross-Functional Operations: Participate in and help shape cross-functional rhythms that keep brand standards, guest experience, and operational reality aligned.

- Track record of coordinating complex workstreams (content, photography, and standards) to ensure new locations or properties open flawlessly.
- Can turn messy guest feedback and CRM data into clear, prioritised action plans, using AI tools to speed up synthesis and reporting.
- Built structured partner networks or community relationships, managing pipelines with clear criteria to ensure every partnership adds genuine value.
- Understand that guest experience is a business engine and can clearly articulate the link between brand investment and occupancy or supply-side credibility.
- Use AI tools as a standard part of daily workflow to improve efficiency, reporting, and production quality.
