Company Overview
OMOMO Korean Street Food is an ambitious, fast-growing brand bringing the bold energy and flavours of Korean street food to the UK. We are at an exciting stage of our journey, backed by a well-funded and carefully planned growth strategy that will see OMOMO expand rapidly over the coming years.
This is a rare opportunity to join a brand early in its growth story and play a key role in shaping how the business develops. We’re looking for people who are excited by the challenge of building something special — leaders who want to make a real impact, not just manage what already exists.
We want individuals who are self-motivated, ambitious and hungry to succeed. People who thrive in fast-paced environments, take ownership, and are energised by the opportunity to grow with a business as it scales.
Just as importantly, we believe great restaurants are built by great teams. At OMOMO, we are passionate about creating a culture that invests in its people — developing talent, building strong teams, and creating an environment where individuals can grow their careers alongside the brand.
