About the Location

72 bedrooms
80-seater Bar & Grill
1 private event space - seats up to 12

Nestled on St Andrews Square, in the heart of the New Town in the city centre, just a stone's throw from Princes Street and a 10-minute walk from the Old Town. The design of the hotel took inspiration from nearby Rose and Thistle Streets to create a lavish garden of texture, light and style. Edinburgh is Scotland's compact, hilly capital. It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland's crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur's Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is topped with monuments and memorials.

About the Role

OPERATIONS MANAGER, FOOD & BEVERAGE, MALMAISON

Rate of Pay / Hours: £34,947.40

Type of Contract: Full Time

Location: Malmaison Edinburgh City, St. Andrews Square

Malmaison is looking for a leader in the making. Someone who will understand that running a successful business isn't just about exceeding the brand standards, or having a super P&L. We want someone who will look after the team and by developing them, will deliver the expectation of celebrity service.

You will be aiming to be running your own hotel in the not too distant future and keen to join a brand that will give you the opportunity to shine.

In this Operations Manager role your eye for detail will help you excel, you will love leading and motivating your team and you will be driving the brand strategy in all elements of the business but focusing on setting Malmaison apart from the competition as a preferred employer and destination to stay, eat and drink.

You will know the local market and have experience in running a busy Food and Beverage department at Head of Department level ideally within a similarly sized property.

Managing the detail through your department managers and team will be second nature and leading from the front to set the example is something you are no stranger to.

A sound understanding of Health and Safety will be beneficial as will a working knowledge of Opera and Zonal.
