Senior Commercial Manager (m/f/d)

Limehome GmbH · New Bremen, OH, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Let's shoot for the stars:Limehome is building something rare in hospitality: a tech-enabled operator that treats revenue not as a spreadsheet exercise, but as a full-contact commercial sport. As we scale our portfolio toward 12,000+ units, we are transforming our commercial operations. In this newly created pilot role, you will act as the "Chief Commercial Officer" for a cluster of 10 properties (DACH region). You will own the commercial reality - pricing logic, channel visibility and revenue prioritization - while our General Managers own the physical reality.This is the pilot role. If it works, it becomes a career-defining model. If you want to own something - really own it - read on.Why this role is different: Most revenue roles are narrowly scoped - pricing in a silo, no visibility into why occupancy actually moves. This role is intentionally the opposite. You own the full commercial picture of your cluster: pricing, local demand generation, channel performance, guest review scores and their revenue impact. The automated tech stack handles the repetitive work. Your job is to think, influence and execute on the decisions that the algorithm can't make.This is Limehome's commercial leadership model for 2029. The pilot starts in 2026. The people who build it will have a head start.How you'll be hosting with heart: Commercial Ownership Act as the end-to-end commercial lead for a cluster of ~10 Limehome properties, with full accountability for RevPAR and GOPPAR performanceManage and strategically override the Revenue Management System (RMS/pricing algorithm) - you set the parameters, the system does the daily liftingDesign and execute rate plan strategies including Length-of-Stay optimization to protect peak nights and capture shoulder demandMonitor performance daily and translate data into clear, prioritized commercial actionsLocal B2B Sales Identify and convert local demand generators - nearby hospitals, universities, construction sites, corporate travelers - to protect occupancy during need periodsExecute targeted local outreach with warm leads prepared in partnership with the central B2B teamBuild a local commercial pipeline that acts as a direct occupancy lever when OTA demand softensCross-Functional Commercial Influence Direct central Channel Managers to deploy targeted OTA ads, visibility campaigns and content improvements for your cluster properties when demand pacing requires itQuantify the commercial cost of operational issues (e.g. "this broken AC dropped our Booking.com score by 0.3, costing €X per week") and use data to accelerate fixes across Ops and GX teamsPartner with Marketing to trigger CRM campaigns and evaluate CAC vs. OTA commission trade-offs for your clusterPresent commercial performance and cross-functional priorities in monthly leadership alignment sessionsWhat you need to shoot for the stars: A minimum of 4-5 years of proven experience in Revenue Management, Business Development, Commercial Strategy, Consulting, (B2B) Sales or a similar commercial / analytical role.A completed university degree in Business Administration, Economics, Hospitality Management, Finance or a related highly analytical field (STEM).A shift in mindset: You think in terms of bottom-line profit (GOPPAR) and acquisition costs, not just top-line revenue (RevPAR).Exceptional stakeholder management skills.
