    inspiration to all team members.
  • Use
    feedback and insights to drive innovation and continual improvements.
  • Offer
    mentorship and performance management for direct reports, ensuring best
    practices are applied across all operational areas.
  • Partner
    with the Group Executive team to deliver on our growth initiatives,
    enhancing guest experience and operational success.
  • Work
    alongside project management to ensure projects are completed on time and
    within budget.


Job skills and requirements:




  • Extensive
    hospitality experience in a leadership role with a proven record of
    achievement.
  • Deep,
    up-to-date knowledge of the hospitality industry and relevant expertise.
  • Exceptional
    front-of-house and F&B experience with a genuine passion for guest
    services.
  • Empathetic
    leadership with the ability to inspire change and drive team alignment.
  • Excellent
    communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
  • A
    creative yet process-oriented mindset with a commitment to excellence.
  • Understanding
    of brand impact and how it can drive success.
  • Strong
    team player, skilled in relationship-building with teams, partners, and guests.
  • A
    love for the hospitality industry and an enthusiasm that inspires those
    around you.
  • Ambition
    with a long-term vision for growth and success.
  • Someone
    who is guest obsessed.
