  • Leading a high performance culture by setting clear KPIs, delivering disciplined one to ones, coaching premium sales skills, and identifying and developing future talent.
  • Leading by example during duty shifts, operational escalations, and member interactions, modelling exceptional standards at all times.
  • Ensuring operational and administrative excellence, including accurate membership administration, GDPR compliance, transparent reporting, and full CRM accuracy.

  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to interpret financial results and drive profitability.
  • Strong people management and organisational skills, fostering a cohesive and high performing team.
  • A passion for hospitality and customer experience, with unwavering dedication to service standards.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to hold people accountable and drive performance.
  • Flexibility to work early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
