Open Application | Opening Mama Shelter Amsterdam (M/F/NB)

THE MISSION? 

Mama is coming to Amsterdam Noord, and we want to meet you! 👀 

In April 2027, Mama Shelter Amsterdam will open its doors in Amsterdam Noord, and we’re getting ready to bring together a brand-new team full of different personalities, talents, and backgrounds! 

Mama Shelter is not your typical hotel. We’re a place where people come together to eat, drink, sleep, celebrate and have a good time. Think comfy rooms, lively restaurants, buzzing bars, great music and plenty of personality. But what really makes Mama special? The people! From the first hello at reception to the last cocktail of the evening, it’s our team that brings Mama to life. ❤️ 

We’re currently focusing on building our management team, but as we get closer to opening, we’ll be looking for many more people to join the Mama family. Whether you’re an experienced hospitality professional, a future manager, someone looking for a fresh start or a student searching for an internship, we’d love to get to know you! 

Not seeing your dream job listed just yet? No worries! This is your chance to introduce yourself and get on Mama’s radar before all our vacancies go live. 

WHERE COULD YOU FIT IN? 👀 

A lot is happening behind Mama’s doors, and it takes all kinds of people to make the magic happen! Here’s a little sneak peek at the teams we’ll be building in Amsterdam: 

🛎️ Front Office 

Our welcoming faces and guest experience experts! From receptionists and night auditors to supervisors, and managers, this team makes sure every guest feels right at home. 

🍸 Food & Beverage 

Love the buzz of a busy restaurant or bar? We’ll be looking for bartenders, bar managers, waiters, hosts, runners, supervisors and restaurant managers to bring Mama’s restaurants and bars to life. 

👨‍🍳 Kitchen & Stewarding 

From passionate chefs and pastry talents to kitchen porters and stewards, our kitchen team keeps the food coming and everything running smoothly behind the scenes. 

🧹 Housekeeping 

The team that makes sure Mama always looks and feels her best! From keeping our rooms spotless to making sure every detail is just right, our housekeeping team helps create a welcoming, comfortable stay for every guest. 

💼 Finance & Administration 

More of a number's person? We’ll also need talented people in accounting, financial control, purchasing, goods receiving and finance management. 

🔧 Engineering & Maintenance 

Our behind-the-scenes heroes! The team that keeps Mama running, solves problems and makes sure everything is in great shape. 

🎓 Internships 

Calling all future hospitality stars! Whether you’re looking for an operational or management internship, Mama wants to hear from you too! We’ll be welcoming interns across different departments, allowing you to learn, gain hands-on experience, and be part of opening a brand-new hotel. Whether your internship starts before our opening or later in 2027, we’d love to know you’re interested! 

MADE FOR YOU? ONLY IF… 😉 

❤️ You love working with people and believe hospitality is about creating memorable experiences. 

✨ You bring your own personality, ideas and energy to the table. 

🤝 You enjoy working with different people and know that teamwork makes all the difference. 

🌍 You feel at home in an international environment where everyone is welcome. 

💗 You’re excited about the idea of joining a brand-new team and helping bring Mama Shelter Amsterdam to life! 

And don’t worry, you don’t need years of experience or a fancy job title to get Mama’s attention. We’re interested in who you are, what you bring and where you’d like to go! 

GOOD TO KNOW! 💌 

A little heads-up from Mama! This is an open application, not a vacancy for one specific position. As we open in April 2027, many positions won’t become available until closer to our opening date. Right now, we’re mainly recruiting our management team and preparing for the rest of our recruitment journey. 

By applying, you’re letting us know that you’d love to be part of our future team. We’ll keep your application in our recruitment system and review your profile when relevant opportunities become available. Please don’t worry if you don’t hear from us straight away! 💗 We’re receiving lots of interest in joining Mama, and while we’d love to chat with everyone, we can’t personally respond to every application. Submitting an open application doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be invited for an interview. 

In the meantime, keep an eye on our careers page and LinkedIn for new vacancies. If you spot a role that feels like the perfect match, we encourage you to apply directly! 

Ready to be part of Mama’s Amsterdam adventure? Don’t be shy. Introduce yourself, tell us what you’d love to do, and hopefully we’ll meet soon! 💋
