Head of Events | London | Up to £65,000 plus bonus.
An established London restaurant group is building out its external events and catering business and is hiring a Head of Events to lead it. Three sites across central and east London, a strong following for the food, and demand beyond the restaurants that has outgrown what they can currently deliver. The events arm is now being set up properly with its own leadership, and this is the first senior appointment into it.
The role
- Build external events and catering revenue from a standing start
- Pitch for partnerships with venues, corporates and agencies
- Convert your existing catering network into contracted business
- Own pricing and margin across the events book
- Plan menus and production with the chef team
- Report directly to the founder
Why this one
- The brand already has pull, so you are selling something buyers know
- Three working kitchens give you production capacity from day one, with no central unit to build first
- Founder reporting means pricing and partnership decisions land in days
- No existing structure, so how the division runs is yours to design
- Bonus tracks what you bring in
You will need
- Experience selling event catering or private events in London
- An active network of corporate, venue or agency contacts
- A track record carrying and hitting a revenue target
- Experience pricing events and holding margin
