• Driving team engagement through visible leadership, coaching, recognition, and a strong team culture.
• Leading, mentoring, and developing Assistant Managers, Supervisors, and high potential team members to build capability and future leadership strength.
• Leading service recovery professionally and confidently to turn challenges into memorable guest outcomes.
• Supporting recruitment, rostering, labour management, productivity, and operational efficiency.
• Identifying opportunities to elevate the guest experience, improve operational standards, and drive innovation across the department.
• Remaining informed on luxury hospitality, food, beverage, and service trends to ensure the hotel offering remains contemporary and competitive.
• Maintaining a strong operational presence during key service periods, evenings, weekends, and peak trading times.

Requirements

• Previous leadership experience managing premium, multi-outlet Food and Beverage operations, preferably within a luxury hotel environment.
• A genuine passion for luxury hospitality, exceptional dining experiences, and guest connection.
• Strong leadership capability with proven experience developing and inspiring high performing teams.
• Experience coaching and developing Assistant Managers, Supervisors, and emerging talent.
• A calm and confident leadership style with exceptional communication and relationship building skills.
• Strong operational knowledge across restaurant, bar, and hotel dining environments.
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple outlets and priorities simultaneously.

• A visible and hands on leadership approach that inspires confidence and accountability across the team.
• A genuine ambition to grow within hospitality, with the drive and potential to progress into broader Food & Beverage leadership roles within the Accor network.

What's in it for you...

• A genuine career pathway towards future Food & Beverage Manager or Director of Food & Beverage opportunities within the Accor network.
• The opportunity to lead two distinctive luxury venues, from signature Italian dining at Pastore to rooftop experiences at Altus.
