Job Description & How to Apply Below
About the Role
goSTOPS is scaling from 40 hostels / 5,000 beds (by September) to 80 hostels / 10,000 beds by March 2027 — doubling the entire estate in two quarters, with 40 hotel-to-hostel conversions across that period (roughly 20 properties a quarter). This role owns that transformation pipeline end-to-end.
What You'd Run
Lead the conversion of existing hotels (typically ~20-room tired properties) into 100+ bed hostels — reworked layouts, rebuilt rooms, newly created common areas — from design through drawings, vendor management, site execution, and handover, repeated at pace across the country.
Lead the interior designers and project managers delivering this work, and build the operating system that lets each conversion be repeated rather than reinvented — standard kits, standard specs, standard timelines.
Own cost-per-bed and days-per-site as core delivery metrics.
Build the organization structure needed to scale this function well beyond the 80-hostel mark.
The Honest Part
This is a high-growth startup — much of the process this role needs doesn't fully exist yet and will be built in parallel with active delivery. The right person builds toward a repeatable system without using its absence as a reason a site slips. Perfect process is the North Star, not a prerequisite to start.
You'll Fit If
5+ years of relevant experience, including 2-3 years leading multi-territory expansion at high-growth scale, running projects in parallel across the country.
You've opened sites beyond metro cities — Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets, with materially different vendors, labour, and operating conditions.
You've delivered multi-site interiors or fit-outs on a hard clock, in hospitality, retail, F&B, co-living, or QSR.
You've led designers and project managers directly, not just managed individual projects.
You think in repeatable kits, not bespoke one-off designs.
You've worked in an organization that outgrew its own processes, and you were the one who fixed them mid-flight.
You Won't Fit If
You need a fully defined process before you can start.
You want to perfect one flagship property over 18 months.
You've only ever operated with a full support structure already in place.
Work Mode: 5 days/week, WFO from goSTOPS' HSR Layout office, Bengaluru. Frequent on-site travel expected.
