You'll ideally have:

• Previous leadership experience in a hotel bar, restaurant, venue or hospitality environment
• Strong beverage knowledge, including wine, spirits, cocktails and coffee
• Experience leading and developing high-performing teams
• A hands-on leadership style and passion for guest service
• Sound commercial awareness and understanding of labour and stock controls
