Company Description
We’re looking for a Revenue Manager to turn data into decisions, bookings into strategy, numbers into in-sight, optimise rates and forecast smartly, to keep The Hoxton, Edinburgh performing as its best.
Reporting to our General Manager, you’ll lead the strategy of The Hoxton, Edinburgh to maximise room revenue through the management of room inventory, pricing, market segmentation, and channel mix, in addition to assisting on a wide range of projects, like system builds, strategy, and property level trainings.

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.
