And with 24/7 on-demand service, crisp linens, and over 200 other quality standards, we’re taking stay further for guests all around the world.
Sonder started a little over four years ago, and now has thousands of spaces in cities across the globe.
We're looking for someone who is overachieving, energetic, detail-oriented, highly organized, passionate about hospitality, and experienced in operations and supply chain management to join our team.
The Senior Operations Manager’s mandate is simple: Make sure our locations are jaw-dropping and take our guest experience to the next level. We're in the business of taking beautiful blank apartments and homes and turning them into incredibly well designed and functional "hometels". We’re growing quickly and need someone who is a project manager at heart. Someone who is able to handle the day-to-day management of our locations across Dubai to ensure all of our guests are happy. Someone who would innovate locally to create truly memorable experiences for our guests. Think of a hotel where the rooms are distributed across a city; they’re different shapes, sizes, ages, and styles, and we still want to offer hotel-like services. That’s what you’ll own.
