Global Managing Director, Hospitality

The Company is seeking a Global Managing Director for its hospitality division. The successful candidate will be responsible for the full operation of the business, both in the UK and internationally, with a focus on launching new venues and driving global expansion. This pivotal leadership role requires a candidate with a strong background in premium or 5-star hospitality, particularly in the USA, and a proven track record in operational leadership. The role is purely operational and demands a hands-on approach to ensure the senior management teams are supported, motivated, and delivering exceptional results. The ideal candidate will be a dynamic industry leader, commercially driven, and with a passion for high-quality food, hospitality, and exceptional guest experiences. Key responsibilities for the Global Managing Director include shaping the overall business strategy, working closely with ownership on commercial performance, and driving strong financial performance with a clear focus on revenue growth and profitability. The role also involves supporting the business with property strategy, site development, and legal considerations for new openings. The right candidate will have a background in hospitality venues such as restaurants, bars, or large-scale entertainment venues, and experience in both the UK and US markets is essential. Pre-opening experience, particularly in London, and a strong background in financial planning, forecasting, and complex business modeling are highly advantageous. The role is suited to a leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-profile environments and is ready to take on the challenge of leading a global hospitality concept with ambitious expansion plans.
