• Understanding of site performance. A key part of this role is venue knowledge and becoming an expert on all revenue streams and trading patterns to understand the opportunities and challenges that they face as a venue and within their neighbourhood.
• City and competitor knowledge – we know every city and venue is unique. This role should be at the heart of its community and the face of the brand, sharing key insights with the BDM and marketing team to help identify new awareness opportunities.

• Have some experience in a very similar hospitality role
• Have systems experience with CRM, DesignMyNight, Canva, and PowerBi beneficial
