Managing Director – Global Hospitality

Location: London (with international travel)

Please note: This role requires candidates with experience in hospitality venues such as restaurants, bars, or large-scale entertainment venues.

Unfortunately, hotel-only backgrounds will not be considered for this position due to the specific operational nature of the business

We are currently searching for an exceptional Managing Director to lead a highly exciting global hospitality concept based in London. This is a pivotal leadership role within a rapidly growing, industry-leading hospitality business known for creating high-volume, premium destination venues with outstanding growth potential.

The business is building something truly unique, dynamic venues with multiple revenue streams under one roof, strong brand identity, and ambitious global expansion plans.

Key responsibilities include:

• Overseeing the full operation across the UK and internationally, including the launch of new venues and global expansion
• Playing a key role in shaping the overall business strategy, including financial planning, marketing strategy, and growth initiatives
• Working closely with ownership on commercial performance, acquisitions, and long-term brand development
• Ensuring senior management teams are fully supported, motivated, and delivering exceptional results
• Taking a hands-on leadership approach, collaborating across all departments while maintaining autonomy in decision-making
• Driving strong financial performance with a clear focus on revenue growth and profitability
• Supporting the business with property strategy, site development, and legal considerations for new openings

The right, Managing Director

• Proven experience as a General Manager, Operations Director, or Managing Director within the premium or 5-star hospitality sector

• Experience within premium brands, high-end hospitality, or large destination venues
• Passion for high-quality food, hospitality, and exceptional guest experiences
