Job description

Sales & Events Manager – Premium Restaurant

Central London
£50,000 - £60,000 plus commission

The Concept

Open Fire concept, 150 covers, 2 PDRs – design-led and premium. This is a first-time role for the client and a fantastic moment to join as they establish themselves and grow their reputation.

The Role

We’re looking for a go-getter to take this brand-new role and make it their own. The space is stunning and ready to be filled. This is a highly proactive position – you’ll need a strong black book, selling out PDRs, corporate whole-venue buyouts, and making the most of the terrace in summer. You’ll work closely with an exceptional marketing partner to bring concepts to life and be the face of the business. This is a pure sales and events role – not operational – where you’re constantly driving bookings and business. You’ll be on-site to meet and greet clients and work directly with a founder who is well-connected and passionate about creating extraordinary experiences – a brilliant opportunity to grow your own network.

Who We’re Looking For

• Deep knowledge of the London hospitality scene – well connected, strong network, affluent and corporate contacts
• Super user of Seven Rooms
• Takes initiative, makes decisions, and is solution-focused
• Happy to be out and about generating opportunities
• Experience working with marketing agencies to create campaigns and events
• Comfortable in a standalone role reporting directly to a founder
• Passionate about food and drink – able to sell full experiences end-to-end
