Job description

If you are motivated, organised, a people person through and through and have a genuine desire to be part of something big then your journey should start here. Help us to create an unforgettable experience. Be a part of Europe’s fastest moving, ground-breaking, lifestyle & hospitality brand.

WHO ARE WE

Generator is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we’re an accommodation brand. The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its way to dominating the world. No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course, agree. And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention that?) wants a pretty awesome Commis Chef for Generator.

Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we love.

Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the backdrop, every Generator in every destination reflects the unique beat of that city's heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story and brand to life.

Just a short walk from the colosseum and Roma Termini station, Generator’s most recent opening is perfectly situated in Italy’s capital. The interior is a tapestry of Roman heritage with 75 intricately styled rooms.
