Learning & Development Manager

Manchester / London
Up to £60,000 + Bonus + Benefits

The Role:

This is a newly created role, giving you the chance to build and shape the Learning & Development function across the UK.

You'll work closely with both Operations and the People team to create a learning culture that develops great leaders, supports new openings and helps the business continue its growth journey.

What will you be doing?

This is a hands-on role where you'll spend plenty of time in the business, building relationships with operational teams and ensuring learning has a genuine impact on performance.

You'll be responsible for leadership development, succession planning, onboarding, management training, pre-opening programmes and creating clear development pathways across the business.

You'll also be expected to understand the commercial impact of learning, using data and ROI to demonstrate the value of what you're delivering.

• Experience in a Learning & Development, Training or Talent Development role within hospitality.
• Someone who understands LUXURY restaurant operations and enjoys working closely with operational teams.
• Experience designing and delivering leadership and management development programmes.
• Commercially minded, with the ability to measure success through performance, engagement and ROI.
• A confident relationship builder who can influence stakeholders at every level.
• Resilient, organised and comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing business.
• An operational background would be a real advantage, although it isn't essential.

Based in Manchester/London with four days in the office and one day from home, alongside regular UK travel to support venues and new openings.

There may also be occasional international travel as the business continues to expand.
