OPERATIONS GRADUATE - LONDON HQ

As Operations Graduate, you’ll support the teams behind the scenes that keep our properties running smoothly and our guest experiences exceptional across edyn’s portfolio of brands. Working closely with property teams and central functions, you’ll gain hands‑on experience across operational performance, reporting, process improvement, and service delivery. You’ll help monitor performance, support operational initiatives, maintain standards, and identify opportunities to make the way we work even better. This role is perfect for someone who is curious, organised, and enjoys understanding how things work. Combining analytical thinking with a proactive approach, you’ll play an important part in supporting our operations function and contributing to the continued growth of our hospitality business. This role is based five days a week in our London Bridge Head Office.

THE STAGE IS SET

The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent. What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach. Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost. This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey step on stage and play your part.

What We Look For

We’re here to rethink what a modern lifestyle hotel can be. That takes pace, creativity, and people who enjoy working with purpose. If you’re comfortable with change, motivated by ideas, and focused on crafting meaningful guest experiences, you’ll do well here. We value individuals who can hold a vision, appreciate atmosphere, and want their work to have impact. Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t. There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
