Operations Manager (m/f/d) in London

At Ruby, your personality really matters, your time really matters, and we strongly believe we groove way better together. We keep breaking new ground.

Overview

Hey Sunshine, you think travelling is more than just the next summer holiday, but the feeling of being at home anywhere in the world? That your workplace should be a place with personality and soul, where new ideas come to life? Then you are the missing olive in our Martini, the missing melody in our music and the heartbeat of our Ruby Stella.

Tucked away down a narrow London lane, our Ruby Stella takes her name and inspiration from one of the neighborhood’s historic literary lights: Charles Dickens. With Farringdon’s rich history as a creative hub, we set to work creating a cosy, bookish space. Our Ruby Stella and her 153 rooms are within strolling distance of the shops and theatres of the West End, along with historic sights like St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London.

We are a fast-growing hospitality group with existing hotels and workspaces in some of Europe’s most exciting locations and many more projects under construction. We break new ground with our Lean Luxury philosophy, creating a contemporary and affordable form of luxury.
