Job Title: Account Manager - Contract Catering (Flagship Site)
We are looking for an exceptional account manager to join a major contract catering company at a prestigious flagship site. This is a rare and exciting opportunity for a high-calibre account manager who thrives in a fast-paced, high-profile environment and understands what it takes to deliver true 5-star service.
The successful account manager will bring strong commercial restaurant experience alongside proven expertise in high-end contract catering and corporate hospitality. As account manager , you will be responsible for driving the business forward, managing a constantly moving dial across multiple catering and hospitality offers, and ensuring commercial success at every level.
The account manager will oversee the entire catering operation, working closely with the Executive Chef to drive food standards, innovation, and consistency. Delivering outstanding food is central to this role, and the account manager will ensure food quality, presentation, and service levels are aligned with both client expectations and commercial objectives.

The account manager will work closely with senior clients and major stakeholders, building trusted relationships, influencing change, and ensuring the catering and hospitality offer consistently exceeds expectations. This account manager role requires a confident commercial operator who can increase footfall, grow revenue, and continuously evolve both staff catering and hospitality services.
Financial acumen is critical. The account manager must demonstrate strong financial knowledge, including budgeting, forecasting, cost control, and delivering against commercial targets.

Flexibility is essential, as the account manager will need to adapt to the demands of a flagship site and deliver a premium, 5-star experience across all services. This is a unique role for a unique operator-an account manager who combines strategic thinking, commercial flair, and outstanding leadership.
