About the Role
As a senior leader, you will be instrumental in driving our organisation’s vision and growth within the hospitality sector through the development and execution of high-value, long-term strategic partnerships. Combining visionary strategy with hands-on operational excellence, you will lead our restaurant portfolio towards becoming a global benchmark in luxury dining, ensuring Harrods remains at the forefront of the hospitality industry.
