Manage profit and loss across all outlets, establishing pricing strategies, optimising covers/occupancy, and controlling operational costs to hit commercial growth targets. Inspiring team leadership Provide strategic leadership on estate enhancements, new revenue concepts, and future guest experience developments. Requirements A qualification in Hospitality Management, Business Administration, or Food & Beverage/Events Management. 10+ years in hospitality operations, with at least 5 years in an Executive GM, Operations Director, or Senior Leadership role overseeing multi-unit or estate-style environments.
