Concept Development Manager International

Concept Development Manager - UK & International Travel – Up to 95k

We’re looking for an experienced Hospitality Openings Project Manager to take the lead on the operational delivery of an exciting pipeline of new openings, refurbishments and major venue transformations.

This is a hands‑on, fast‑paced role sitting at the heart of multiple hospitality projects.

You’ll work across Operations, People, Culinary, Finance, Technology, Brand and Commercial teams, ensuring everyone is aligned and each project is fully operationally ready for launch.

• Managing the operational mobilisation of new openings, refurbishments and relaunches
• Building clear project plans, timelines and readiness programmes
• Coordinating recruitment, training, suppliers, technology, menus, operations and launch activity
• Working closely with senior stakeholders and external project partners
• Identifying risks, solving problems and keeping multiple projects moving
• Supporting sites through opening, launch and the initial stabilisation period

• 5+ years’ experience within hospitality openings, mobilisation or operational projects
• Strong restaurant, bar, venue or multi‑site hospitality experience
• Experience delivering complex projects involving multiple departments
• Excellent organisation, communication and stakeholder‑management skills
• Strong commercial understanding and the ability to work at pace
• Flexibility to travel across the UK and internationally when required

This is a high‑impact, group‑wide position with exposure to senior leadership and a

varied pipeline of UK and international hospitality projects.
