MUST have hospitality experience from restaurant, bars and clubs or events to apply!!!
We’re partnering with a leading and fast-growing hospitality business operating across restaurants, bars, live events, catering, festivals and destination venues. With an exciting portfolio of premium hospitality concepts and a growing events and commercial division, the business is entering an ambitious new phase of growth and is looking for a Commercial Director to take ownership of commercial strategy and revenue generation across the group.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who understands hospitality commercially, someone who can spot opportunities, drive revenue, build partnerships and turn commercial strategy into real results.
The Commercial Director Role
You’ll work closely with the CEO, COO, marketing and operational leadership teams, taking responsibility for maximising revenue and commercial performance across the estate.
From reservations and yield optimisation through to sponsorships, partnerships, tenders and events, this is a broad commercial role with plenty of scope to shape how the business grows.
