Job Introduction

We are looking for a talented Members Club Beverage Manager to lead the drinks operation across one of London’s most exciting and unique premium hospitality settings at Fulham Pier. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who knows how to deliver a high-end member experience without losing sight of the detail, the pace, and the commercial side of the operation. You will be leading from the front in a busy, high-profile members club environment, overseeing multiple bars, managing a strong team, and helping shape a drinks offer that matches the standards and expectations of a premium membership audience.

Working closely with the wider bars and beverage leadership team, you will play a key part in creating a polished, welcoming, and memorable experience for members day in, day out, from quieter service periods through to high-energy matchdays and exclusive events. This is a role for someone who is confident, personable, passionate about great wine and cocktails, and comfortable operating in a premium venue where service really matters.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage the day-to-day beverage operations within the members club, ensuring seamless service and high-quality beverage offerings.
• Lead and motivate the beverage team, providing training and guidance to ensure exceptional service delivery.
• Monitor the preparation and presentation of all beverages, ensuring they meet the required standards of quality and consistency.
• Collaborate with suppliers to source high-quality beverages and maintain adequate stock levels, ensuring timely ordering and efficient inventory management.
• Conduct regular stock checks and manage the ordering process to minimise waste and control costs.
• Ensure compliance with licensing laws, health and safety regulations, and hygiene standards, maintaining a safe environment for staff and members.
• Monitor customer satisfaction and respond to member feedback, implementing improvements to enhance the beverage experience.
• Assist in planning and executing exclusive events and promotions for members, ensuring successful and engaging beverage service.
• Work closely with the kitchen team to ensure seamless coordination between food and beverage service.

What You Bring:

• Proven experience managing beverage operations, ideally within a high-end or members-only setting.
• Strong knowledge of beverage products, including wines, spirits, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options.
• Experience in managing bar stock, inventory, and ordering processes.
• Ability to lead and motivate a team, ensuring high standards of service and professionalism.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact with members and resolve issues promptly.
• Flexibility to work during peak periods, including weekends, evenings, and matchdays, as required by the members club.

What we offer:

• Unlimited access to an online platform offering mental health and wellbeing support.
• Employee Assistance Programme to help with everyday issues or larger problems where you may need additional support, including legal and financial advice.
• Access to a free health and wellbeing app that provides rewards for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and includes access to a 24hr virtual GP and various other services.
• The Sodexo Discounts Scheme, offering great deals 24/7 (also open to friends and family).
• Money Insights and financial benefits via the Salary Finance Platform.
• Save for your future by becoming a member of the Sodexo Retirement Plan.
• A Death-in-Service benefit for colleagues who pass away whilst employed by Sodexo.
• Opportunities to enable colleagues to grow and succeed throughout their career at Sodexo, including a variety of learning and development tools.
• Cycle to Work Scheme to help colleagues to do their bit for the environment whilst keeping fit.
