• Work closely with senior stakeholders to support business growth and continuous improvement.
• Be the face of the venue, leading from the front and setting the tone for the team.

About You

• Proven experience managing businesses generating £100,000+ per week in sales.
• Strong background in quality-led restaurants, bars, or hospitality venues.
