You will:
Analyse hospitality performance across multiple facilities, combining operational understanding with quantitative and qualitative data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
Design and continuously improve hospitality policies, standards, governance mechanisms, processes, and systems that support consistent, evidence-based practice across the network.
Influence service providers, facility teams, and colleagues by providing specialist hospitality expertise that drives exceptional hospitality outcomes, consistent standards, and organisation-wide improvement.
