About the job
Leisure and Attractions Specialist - New Forest / south-west Hampshire
Finch + Finch is a real estate and business consultancy advising property owners on their business strategy and operational management. We are expanding the team on behalf of our clients, and are now looking for a leisure and attractions specialist to support this growth.
The role. You will work on leisure-led projects, predominantly at pre-opening and launch stage: sense-checking assumptions, building the core team and taking responsibility for P&L. You will shape the operating model and then be responsible for how it runs. The structure is open and flexible: retained advisory, fractional, or something closer to full-time. Tell us what works for you.
You. You've led a public-facing leisure operation and have the track record to prove it. That might be an independent or heritage visitor attraction, an adventure play or high-ropes site, or a larger theme park where you owned a defined operation rather than a function.
Essential:
- P&L responsibility for a family attraction or comparable visitor operation.
- Recruiting, training and managing seasonal front-line teams.
- Admissions, ticketing and yield; secondary spend.
- Health and safety in a play or activity environment.
Useful:
- Hands-on F&B or retail experience.
- Pre-opening or new-site launch experience.
- Working with designers, contractors and planning processes.
Terms. Negotiable and dependent on structure — we'd rather have the conversation than advertise a number.
Next step. An informal, confidential chat. Contact [email protected] with a short note on your background; no formal application at this stage.
Pay: £40,000.00-£80,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
