I am looking to speak with a hands-on Project Manager to lead the strategy, operations, and performance of an exciting leisure venue. You’ll keep everything running smoothly—from daily activities and guest experience to budgets, compliance, and team growth—while ensuring every project hits its goals.

Role

• Turn strategy into action by planning, executing, and delivering key projects that drive growth and efficiency.
• Oversee daily operations, keeping things safe, smooth, and fun for both guests and teams.
• Manage budgets, resources, and timelines to make sure every project stays on track and profitable.
• Inspire and develop your team, creating a positive, high-performance culture.
• Build great relationships with stakeholders, partners, and the local community.
• Keep safety, quality, and compliance at the heart of everything you do.

Requirements

• Management experience in hospitality, venues, leisure, or operations management.
• Proven success in leading teams and delivering results.
• Strong financial skills—budgeting, reporting, and P&L tracking are second nature to you.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills.
• A proactive, adaptable approach and an eye for continuous improvement.
• Bonus points for water park or sports venue experience (but not required!).
