Operations Manager (m/f/d)

About ALPAMIAt ALPAMI we're building a boutique hospitality brand. ALPAMI operates 200+ keys across the Black Forest, Switzerland, Tirol, and Munich — spanning City Boutique Houses, Tiny Houses in Nature, and Properties as a Service. We're not chasing stars; we're chasing 5-star experiences delivered in our own, unmistakably boutique way.We're bootstrapped, founder-led, and growing fast — with a clear target of 500 units next year. That means the operational engine behind our guest experience needs to scale just as fast, and that's exactly where you come in.The RoleWe're looking for an Operations Manager who reports directly to the MD and, from our Munich HQ, keeps the operational engine behind our guest experience running: you make sure our Customer Care team always has the relevant information at hand, support them in guest communication, and steer our local stakeholders on site. You are the nerve center of ALPAMI's day-to-day: the person who sees every property, every process, and every issue before it becomes a problem — and who fixes it before the guest even notices.This is not a job for someone who wants a quiet 9-to-5. We're a fast-growing, founder-led company, and we need someone who understands what that actually means in practice: unpredictable days, fast decisions, and a genuine sense of ownership over the outcome. We expect high reachability, hospitality is a 365 day business. If you don’t agree with that, this might not be the right choice for you.What You'll DoOwn operations end-to-end — surveil and continuously improve operational processes and management standards across our entire portfolio of propertiesBe the single point of contact for our Customer Care team, provide them with relevant, up-to-date property information (access details, house rules, local specifics, open issues) so every guest gets a fast and correct answerAssist with guest communication — step in on complex requests, special cases, and escalations, and help keep our tone and response times consistently on brandSteer our local stakeholders on site — make sure the guest journey is smooth at every locationMonitor and act on operating room KPIs — occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, guest satisfaction scores, response SLAs, and the other numbers that tell you where to focus nextCarry out on-site visits in coordination with our Operations Lead whenever quality checks, partner onboarding, training, or problem-solving require an on-the-ground presencePrioritize ruthlessly — you always know what needs fixing right now versus what can wait, and you make that call fastSolve issues immediately — you're hands-on by nature and would rather fix something yourself in the next ten minutes than schedule a meeting about it next weekLead and develop operational team members as we scale, setting the standard for how ALPAMI runsChampion guest happiness as a non-negotiable core value — every decision you make is filtered through "does this make the guest experience better?"What You Bring (Must-Haves)2–5+ years of experience in hospitality operationsBilingual in German and English (spoken and written)Strong written communication skills, clear, warm, and solution-oriented with guests, colleagues, and partners alikeA genuine hands-on mentality — you fix things yourself, immediately, rather than escalating by defaultStrong prioritization skills and the judgment to resolve issues on the spotStress resistance, you stay clear-headed and effective when multiple things go wrong at onceWillingness to travel occasionally for on-site visits to our propertiesAn understanding that joining a fast-growing company means flexible hours and a workload that doesn't always fit neatly into Monday–Friday, 9-to-5Customer happiness as a core personal value, not just a KPINice-to-HaveExperience leading a teamExperience in guest communication or customer care, ideally in hospitalityDeep technical understanding of hospitality tech tools (e.g. PMS, channel managers, guest communication platforms, revenue management systems)Familiarity with AI, you don’t step away in challenge yourself and your workflows with AIA driver's licenseExperience opening new locations/propertiesWhat We OfferDirect reporting line to the Managing Director — your work has visibility and impact from day oneA front-row seat and real influence on our path to 500 units next year — you won't just support our growth, you'll be one of the reasons it happensThe autonomy of a founder-led, bootstrapped company: fast decisions, no bureaucracy, real ownershipThe chance to shape what "operational excellence" means at ALPAMI as we scaleA team that believes 5-star experiences aren't about star ratings — they're about how we treat every single guestA fair, competitive salaryA nice office in MunichFrequent team eventsWellpass membership for your physical and mental well-beingSound like you?
