Support the implementation of company initiatives and best practice across all sites.
Develop succession plans and create opportunities for career progression within your team.
Review labour structures and operational efficiencies to ensure sustainable business performance.
Manage employee relations matters fairly and consistently in line with company procedures.

About You

We're looking for someone who combines strong commercial awareness with a genuine passion for people and service.

You'll have:

Proven experience managing multi-site operations within contract catering, hospitality, retail catering, education catering, or a similar service environment.
Experience leading, coaching, and developing high-performing teams.
Strong commercial and financial management skills, including budget and profit responsibility.
Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.
The ability to influence, motivate, and engage teams at all levels.
A proactive, organised, and solution-focused approach.
A passion for delivering outstanding customer experiences.
Flexibility to travel regularly across your portfolio of sites.

Why Join Pabulum?
