Salary:
Up to £55,000

Location:

Lost Shore Surf Resort, Edinburgh

Contract:

Full-time, permanent

Lost Shore is Europe’s largest inland surf destination, combining world‑class waves with accommodation, food & drink, and events. We’re building a true surf resort experience — not just a surf session, but a full stay, community, and destination. As we grow, accommodation is becoming a critical part of our commercial success, and we’re now looking for someone to take real ownership of this area of the business.

This is a commercial hospitality role, not just an operational one. You will be responsible for driving occupancy, optimising pricing, improving the guest journey, and working with marketing, surf, events, and F&B teams to turn stays into a core revenue stream. You’ll have genuine influence over performance and how the accommodation product is positioned and sold.

• Own accommodation occupancy, ADR and revenue targets
• Manage all booking channels (direct, OTAs, group bookings)
• Develop and manage pricing and yield strategies by season and demand
• Create and optimise stay packages with surf, events, and food & drink

• Work with the marketing team to ensure accommodation is clearly promoted
• Improve OTA listings, photography, descriptions, and guest communications
• Develop group, corporate, and event‑related stay opportunities

• Oversee check‑in, guest communication, and on‑site experience
• Work closely with housekeeping and maintenance to protect standards
• Monitor reviews and feedback and lead improvements where needed

• Support and coordinate accommodation‑related staff and supervisors
• Work cross‑departmentally to align capacity, demand, and guest experience

• Experience in hotels, hostels, resorts, serviced apartments, or similar
• Strong commercial mindset — comfortable with targets, data, and pricing
• Confident working across operations and marketing
• Proactive and innovative, able to identify and seize opportunities
• Organised, proactive, and guest‑focused
• Excited by experience‑led hospitality, sport, or destination venues
• Revenue management experience is a huge plus, but attitude and commercial thinking matter just as much.

• Unique opportunity to shape and grow a standout accommodation product
• Real ownership and responsibility for commercial performance
• Dynamic, ambitious business with strong brand potential
• Work in an exciting surf, sport, and lifestyle‑led environment
