Job description

Oak View Group

Oak View Group (OVG) is the world’s leading development, management, and hospitality company founded in 2015 to positively disrupt business as usual.

As the largest developer of sports and entertainment facilities in the world, OVG prioritises the way we do business focusing on making long-term investments in our people and our planet.

About the Venue

With an expanding footprint in the United Kingdom, OVG is redefining how fans experience live events through innovative hospitality.

OVG's first UK project, Co-op Live in Manchester, revolutionised fan experiences through innovative hospitality. We are ready to build on this as we gear up to manage further venues across the UK.

We're fanatical about transforming food and beverage services across sports and entertainment venues by prioritising culinary innovation, local concepts, and seamless technological integration.

Role Purpose

OVG are hunting for a game-changing Sous Chef to join our squad at a legendary venue in the East Midlands!

Reporting to our Executive Head Chef, you'll lead the charge in transforming stadium grub from tired pies and hotdogs into proper street food that'll have punters queuing round the block.

This is your chance to revolutionise GA dining - think Korean fried chicken wraps, loaded mac 'n' cheese, artisan burgers that actually taste like something, and grab-and-go concepts that'll make fans forget they're at the footie.

We need a culinary rebel who's ready to bin the boring and serve up something spectacular. You'll be crafting innovative retail concepts and high-energy street food that disappears faster than tickets for matchdays.

From developing killer grab-and-go ranges that keep the crowds moving, to creating Instagram-worthy bites that have supporters posting stories all match long, you'll be rewriting the rulebook on what stadium food can be.

What we're after:

  • Serious high-volume food production chops (arenas, stadia, big venues, or CPU background ideal)
  • Someone who thrives when the pressure's on and the orders are flying
  • A creative mind that sees opportunity where others see a pie warmer
  • Passion for elevating everyday dining into something memorable
  • If you're ambitious, love a challenge, and want to be part of the team that's changing perceptions one brilliant bite at a time, then step up to the plate.
  • Come show us you've got what it takes – because at OVG, we don't just feed fans, we fuel the experience!
Our Inclusion Commitments

OVG is for everyone. Diversity drives innovation, strengthens our people, improves our service, and raises our excellence. Wherever you come from, wherever you are going, we’d love to hear from you.
