The Chancery Rosewood is redefining luxury in Mayfair, housed in the former U.S. Embassy and reimagined by Sir David Chipperfield. With 144 suites by Joseph Dirand and a collection of dynamic dining and bar spaces, it’s a place where experiences are curated, conversations flow, and every detail matters.
As Head of Wine, you will lead the strategic and commercial development of The Chancery Rosewood’s wine programme — a rare opportunity to build one of London’s leading hotel wine destinations, combining deep wine expertise with direct ownership of buying, pricing, and cellar strategy.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the wine programme end-to-end — from buying strategy and cellar management to pricing, guest experience, and long-term commercial performance.
- Build direct relationships with growers, producers, and importers, using the hotel’s EORI number to secure exclusive allocations and favourable terms.
- Develop and curate the wine list, ensuring depth, breadth, and long-term value that reflect The Chancery Rosewood’s ambition and guest profile.
- Train and inspire the wider F&B team, building wine knowledge, confidence, and guest engagement across every outlet.
- Represent The Chancery Rosewood within London’s wine community, building the property’s profile, network, and industry recognition.
About You
- Connection — You build strong relationships across growers, producers, and colleagues, bringing people with you through warmth, clarity, and collaboration.
- Guest-Centricity — You anticipate guest preferences and curate wine experiences that consistently reflect the standard of a five-star environment.
- Influencing — You communicate with confidence and passion about wine, building the property’s reputation and bringing others with you through knowledge and expertise.
- Integrity — You manage cellar stock, pricing, and supplier arrangements with precision and full accountability, raising concerns promptly rather than deferring to others.
- Drive — You bring commercial ambition and long-term vision to every buying decision, continuously developing your knowledge of wine regions, trends, and collectible releases.
- Adaptability — You balance long-term cellar strategy with the day-to-day realities of service, embracing new vintages and evolving guest expectations with an open mindset.
- Initiative — You proactively build the wine list, supplier network, and training programmes that elevate the hotel’s wine offering.
- Strategic Thinking — You align purchasing decisions with business volumes and profitability goals, thinking years ahead rather than for the season.
- Business Acumen — You manage pricing, margins, and cellar investment with commercial rigour, negotiating directly with suppliers to secure the best terms.
- People Leadership — You lead, develop, and inspire your wine team, creating a culture of expertise, pride, and genuine passion for craft.
