Commercial experience, including revenue growth, pricing, forecasting, cost control and margin management
Confidence managing client relationships and engaging with senior stakeholders
Excellent organisation, communication and problem-solving skills
A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to work in a busy and varied environment
Experience managing teams across permanent, supervisory and casual staffing structures
A strong understanding of food safety, allergens, health and safety and service compliance
Experience in licensed hospitality environments, including responsible alcohol service and stock control
A Personal Licence Holder qualification, or willingness to obtain one
