What is your department's purpose within citizenM?
Our primary focus is the growth of citizenM's hotel portfolio, adding new projects to the portfolio. Rock'n rollout! Additionally D&I team maximizes the real estate value of the existing portfolio.
What makes your team unique?
We are a group of real estate professionals within a hotel company. Most hotel brands are following an asset light strategy while citizenM prefers to invest in its real estate.
To accomplish this, we have a full commercial property development team inhouse which sources opportunities, negotiates deals, creates amazing design and ensures it is constructed according to plan.
The D&I team is mainly active in the sourcing and negotiations but also works closely together with all other departments to at the end maximize the value of the company. Working for a truly global hotel real estate development and investment company is quite unique!
Why should someone join your team? ‘30 second elevator pitch’
Each new hotel starts with the D&I team. We are scouting for the next citizenM hotel project, negotiating the deal, jointly with all internal stakeholders maximizing the value of the future hotel design, managing the due diligence process, arranging invetsment committee approvals and, when everything is successful, closing of the transaction.
If you have a passion for real estate, a curious analytical mind, enjoy cracking complex Excel formulas and have an eye for creating company value, the D&I team is the right step in your career.
