This Isn't Just Another Operations Role. It's An Opportunity To Build Something Exceptional.
Outstanding food can transform a workplace.
Exceptional service can transform a culture.
And great leadership can transform an entire business.
We're looking for a Regional Catering Operations Manager who doesn't simply manage sites—they inspire teams, elevate standards, create unforgettable client experiences, and deliver operational excellence every single day.
This is an opportunity to lead a flagship corporate dining operation in Leeds while overseeing a portfolio of smaller locations across the North of the UK with occasional travel to the corporate Head Office in London.
You'll be entrusted with a high-profile client environment where quality, service, innovation and consistency matter. Every interaction, every meal and every customer experience contributes to the reputation of the business.
If you're energised by leading people, building high-performing teams, developing future talent and delivering outstanding hospitality experiences, this could be the role you've been waiting for.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Leading excellence across multiple sites
Creating exceptional client partnerships
Developing high-performing teams
Driving commercial performance
Raising standards and driving innovation
Supporting growth and change
What We're Looking For
Proven experience in a well-respected restaurant/food/contract catering, hospitality or food service leadership role (Multi site operations exposure is an advantage to the role)
Strong operational management experience gained within a catering environment.
Excellent financial and commercial acumen
A track record of improving operational performance and service delivery
Exceptional leadership and people development skills
Experience building strong client relationships at senior stakeholder level
The ability to influence, inspire and motivate teams
A hands-on leadership style with a passion for quality and service excellence
Strong organisational and planning skills
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the region
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a high-profile regional operation, influence strategic decisions, work with a prestigious corporate client and make a genuine impact across multiple locations.
You'll have the autonomy to lead, the support to succeed and the opportunity to build something exceptional.
If you're ready to lead with energy, purpose and ambition—and create a culture where outstanding food, service and hospitality become the standard—we'd love to hear from you
