SENIOR MANAGER DEVELOPMENT - SOUTHERN EUROPE (M/F/D)

At Ruby, your personality really matters, your time really matters, and we strongly believe we groove way better together. At Ruby, we keep breaking new ground.
Hey Sunshine,
You're a pro when it comes to planning and behind-the-scenes magic? You believe that your work should be a place with personality and soul, where new ideas come to life? Then you are the missing olive to our Martini, the missing melody in our music and the heartbeat of our Rubyverse.
We are a fast-growing hospitality group with existing hotels and workspaces in some of Europe's most exciting locations and many more projects under construction. We break new ground with our Lean Luxury philosophy, creating a contemporary and affordable form of luxury.
As part of our Development Team, you'll be holding the fort in Spain – right where the action happens. Our team is all about growth: scouting new locations, securing exciting properties, and pushing Ruby’s unique brand forward. You’ll play a key role in shaping the future of our portfolio, bringing our Lean Luxury philosophy to new places, and turning bold ideas into real-life hotels with soul.
Join us and make it your own story. 
Trust us, you won't get bored, as you: 

independently lead acquisition and negotiation processes for hotel projects in Spain and Portugal – from first contact to signed deal
analyse potential sites and structures, develop feasibility studies, and shape tailor-made project strategies
negotiate term sheets and contracts with property owners, investors, and developers
coordinate internal and external stakeholders across all project phases – from design and technical planning to commercial evaluation
continuously develop our internal toolbox (contract templates, cost benchmarks, planning standards, etc.)
represent Ruby at industry events, drive PR opportunities, and manage key accounts throughout the project lifecycle
support strategic decision-making through well-structured reports, presentations, and documentation

We've been waiting for you, since you have/are:

bring at least 3 years of experience in hotel development, ideally on operator side
have a strong track record of independently closing deals and managing multi-stakeholder projects
know the Spanish hotel and real estate market inside out – and ideally already have a valuable network there
communicate fluently in English and Spanish (German is a plus)
have a hands-on mentality, love taking ownership, and navigate complex situations with structure and confidence
enjoy working with diverse teams and building long-term partnerships

What's in for you? That's how we groove:






your style, your smile, your ideas – bring your personality to work. Maybe even with a new tattoo, piercing or hair colour on us?
better together – at work, during team events or just because it’s Monday 😉





even work is better at the beach – make the most of your workation days at Ruby
no more excuses – we support your sports program
LEGEN...wait for it...DARY staff rates - for you and your travel buddy







no matter how you get to work – a mobility allowance comes on top
take it to the next level – secure yourself some extra cash through talent scouting and semi-annual special payments





level up your game – trainings, coaching, and mentoring, you get the chance to grow, just like Ruby does
innovation is part of our DNA – Lean Luxury, paperless, cashless, … you name it

 






Where have you been so long?
Daily business? That's not the case with us. Whether you have an eye for detail or want to break new ground with your creative and innovative nature, whether you're tech-savvy or more passionate about numbers - there’s a place for you at Ruby. We’re always looking for friendly faces and passionate team players. 
Not perfect CVs, but great personalities, who’ll help us create hotels and workspaces with character and soul. So, whatever makes you tick, join us and start your Ruby story.
