    • Experience as a General Manager in a large multi outlet venue or contract catering environment
    • Lead, inspire, collaborate and support your direct reports to deliver consistently exceptional standards
    • Build positive, credible and collaborative relationships & communication methods with clients and other key stakeholders in the business
    • Continually look to develop your team through mentoring, training, recognition, and empowerment
    • Create a culture of excellence with your team, continually striving to push the boundaries of brilliance through natural caring service, obsessive food standards and innovation
    • Achieve business critical KPI's including Health and Safety, Sustainability, Financial and Governance
    • Financial accountability and understanding of all business decisions.
    • Strategic planning and implementation of full catering service including mobilisation of units and annual marketing calendar.
    • Identify opportunities to increase profitability of the catering service.

    For almost 20 years, for every client, in every location (whether that’s an office, stadium, cathedral or university), we have created beautiful spaces, exciting menus and friendly teams, so that each and every customer can have the hospitality experience they deserve.

    We need the brightest and the best to join us to make this all possible. We will support you to create your hospitality legacy and build a career that you are proud of.
