People and Culture Manager - The Hoxton Bengaluru City

The Hoxton, Bangalore

We are seeking an experienced People and Culture Manager for The Hoxton, Bangalore.

The Hoxton is opening its very first neighbourhood hotel in Asia, coming to India’s Bengaluru city centre in 2026. This is a major milestone for the brand as it ventures into a new continent entirely and we are now looking for a brilliant leadership team to help bring this lifestyle brand to the market. 

Located in the heart of the city centre, The Hoxton, Bengaluru City will bring its undeniable brand DNA and guest experience to India’s “Silicon Valley”, a high-tech city filled with parks and gardens and known for its vibrant cafe and pub culture - very apt for a brand that was founded in London! 

The hotel will feature 149 bedrooms in a variety of The Hoxton’s well-loved room categories and the lobby will have a vibrant all-day dining restaurant & bar. Topping off the hotel we will have a rooftop pool and bar, large scale function rooms and The Apartment - The Hoxton’s unique meeting & events concept

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

What's in it for you...

• The opportunity to work with an exciting new hospitality concept in Bangalore and have a real impact on its success.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that’s committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences and building a portfolio of brands.
• Great discounts across the entire Ennismore family (which you get to keep even if you decide to leave us!).
• A competitive package and plenty of opportunity for development.

What you’ll do…

• Be a true partner to the business for anything that relates to looking after their teams, providing advice & guidance.
• Implement and manage our policies, processes, and procedures, ensuring we are compliant with local employment law in all areas.
• Position our brand as an employer of choice through effective recruitment strategies that attract talent and build a talent pool for effective succession planning within the business.
• Work with heads of department on putting in place development opportunities & paths for the team, with input from our L&D Manager.
• Keep the culture of the hotel alive by embedding The Hoxton values, promoting a fair, safe and inclusive environment and leading initiatives that engage and empower the team.
• Drive our talent review process from coffee chats, annual reviews through to talent and career management.
• Lead activities under “Do More”, our global initiative to work with local charities & community projects in the cities we call home.
• Support managers on employee relations and performance management cases.
• Work with the central team on Global projects and rollouts. We want to hear your ideas and get your input on how to design effective initiatives and deliver innovative solutions.

What we’re looking for…

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• You'll come with 2+ years’ experience across all aspects of human resources within the hospitality industry.
• If you’ve previously opened a hotel that’s a big plus; you’ll need to be comfortable recruiting high volume.
• You’re passionate about bringing out the best in other people and are full of ideas you want to try in achieving that goal.
• Experience dealing with legal and performance issues.
