  • Deliver strong commercial performance through effective cost control and team leadership

  • High energy, hands-on, and thrives in busy, event-led operations
  • Experience in high-volume venues – sports bars, late-night, or similar
  • Confident leading teams during peak, high-pressure trading periods
  • Strong communicator with a natural ability to engage both team and guests
  • Ambitious and motivated by the opportunity to build something from the ground up
