You're already a proven senior operator who has successfully led large teams and complex customer-focused businesses. You combine commercial rigour with emotional intelligence and understand that long-term success is achieved through people, culture and exceptional customer experiences. You'll likely bring:
- Significant General Management leadership experience within hospitality, leisure, retail, luxury service, membership, wellness or customer-led environments;
