• Performance & Team Development: Monitor performance against key metrics (NPS, engagement, commercial targets) to continuously improve propositions. Foster a high‑performance culture, providing leadership, coaching, and opportunities for professional growth within the team.
• Industry Representation: Represent Ten at industry events and forums, showcasing our thought leadership and strengthening brand presence in the luxury lifestyle space.

Education & Experience

• Proven track record in leading lifestyle propositions or high‑end services, with strong operational and team management experience.
• Demonstrated success in managing cross‑functional teams and driving organizational change within a global environment.
• Strong experience in commercial and partnership management, including developing and implementing policies and procedures that improve performance and results.
• Experience working in fast‑paced, technology‑driven environments with a passion for innovation.
• Fluency in English required; additional European languages (i.e German, French, Norwegian, Swedish) highly advantageous.
• Ability and willingness to travel frequently across the EMEA region.

• Deep understanding of the lifestyle concierge, hospitality, and luxury industries, including key trends, challenges, and best practices.
• Strong knowledge of international markets and cultural sensitivities, particularly in Europe, the UK, and EMEA.
