Your leadership skills will allow you to build on the work of our existing functions and marketing teams in identifying markets, reaching customers and converting them into high value functions across our venues. You will also be able to lead our ops teams inside the venues in ensuring all functions are carried out to a high standard with an incredibly high level of customer satisfaction.
