Zonal Operations Manager

Location: Chessington World of Adventures, Surrey, KT9 2NE

We are recruiting for a Zonal Operations Manager to join our AWESOME Operations Team!

As a Zonal Operations Manager, you will be a key leader within resort operations, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day performance of a designated zone. You will ensure operational excellence across rides, commercial units, guest facilities, and overall presentation, delivering a consistently outstanding guest experience. Acting as the primary point of contact for your zone, you will manage escalations, coordinate resources, and maintain high standards of cleanliness, safety, and service at all times.

You will lead, support, and inspire a multiskilled team, fostering a culture of engagement, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Through regular coaching, performance management, and development planning, you will ensure your team consistently delivers exceptional service aligned to brand standards. You will also take ownership of workforce planning, operational readiness during peak periods, and ensuring all teams are well-briefed and aligned to business priorities.

A strong focus on data-driven decision making is essential in this role. You will monitor operational performance and guest feedback, using insights to optimise resources, improve standards, and enhance the overall guest journey. You will proactively identify risks, implement improvements, and contribute to wider operational initiatives, working cross-functionally to drive performance across the resort.

Health, safety, and compliance are central to the role. You will ensure all policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements are adhered to, including risk assessments, training compliance, and incident management. Acting as a role model for safety and operational excellence, you will lead responses to incidents, promote best practice, and ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for guests and colleagues alike.
