Job description

Hey there! If time management and organized work are 'no big deal' for you, and you'd love to intern in a young and growing company, then this opportunity is perfect for you! We are currently looking for a General Management Intern to optimize the daily operations of our hotel group. You will collaborate directly with the operations management team to support them with various projects, focusing on improving processes across all hotels.

The July is where great stories begin...

The July is a premium hospitality brand redefining the way people travel with a personal, human touch. We create beautifully designed spaces in destinations around the globe, and our team is on a mission to expand with multiple new apartment-hotels in top European cities such as London, Dublin, Lisbon and more to plan. Each property is thoughtfully crafted, reflecting the unique local stories and spirit of its surroundings. Our goal? To provide guests with a place where they can unwind, explore their surroundings, and connect with people and places, all while staying their way. At The July, people come first. From our guests to our colleagues, we take ownership and take pride in what we do. That's why we've been awarded as a Great Place to Work.

The internship

Still with us?! Great! We'd love to take you through a typical Monday of our General Management Intern... Throughout the week, you work in different locations, but today you open your laptop in the lobby of BOAT&CO. While checking emails, you spot a few colleagues struggling with an operational system. Here’s your chance! You delve into their challenges and brainstorm creative solutions to enhance their experience.

Around 11AM you have your weekly meeting with your manager, and enjoy a cup of coffee while discussing ongoing projects and those you want to pick up.

You love taking initiative, so after the meeting, you immediately start working on various projects that can improve operations across all hotels. Your projects are diverse, and tailored to your own interests and ideas. Examples of projects you might work on are.

• Cost Analysis: With help of Finance, you dive into the cleaning costs numbers, and you look into the processes of the housekeeping department, to uncover why our cleaning expenses are as they are, and suggest actionable improvements.

• System Implementation: Lead the planning and rollout of a new operational communication system, organizing training sessions with the support of the new system, and ensuring your colleagues feel confident with the transition!

• Brand Standards Rollout: Help set up and implement our brand standards across all hotels, ensuring every guest experiences our commitment to excellence!

After you've started working on your projects, you enjoy lunch with your colleagues, followed by a brief update with HR about the operational training plan you are helping to develop. Working in an organized manner is no problem for you!

At the end of the day, you update your to-do list and join the free Bootcamp with your colleagues!

As a General Management Intern at The July, you will be coached by the Operations Project Manager. Throughout your internship, you will interact with various departments and be entrusted with independent tasks.

Do you recognize yourself in the following?

• You have a vibrant and ambitious personality, eager to get started!

• You are entrepreneurial and enjoy taking the lead in projects

• Proficient in independent work, you excel in communication and are adept at coordinating your agenda and priorities

• You approach challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset, keen on identifying areas for improvement, and are approachable to others

• We are seeking interns who are available for a minimum period of six months and can start in August or September 2026

What’s in it for you?

In our flat organization, within an informal working atmosphere, your ideas are highly valued.

• A competitive internship allowance of €800 gross per month

• Complimentary access to our gym, along with boot camp and playing padel

• Participate in our Hotel Employee Rate program, which offers discounts at over 2,000 hotels worldwide

• Enjoy in-house experience by staying as a guest in one of our hotels

• Earn bonuses for referring friends

• Friendly voucher; let your friends and family enjoy our hotels

• One additional 'me-time' day and a 'community' day

• Gain experience at a fast-growing hotel group with plans to conquer the world
