Think delicious seasonal food and drink menus, bespoke events, and award-winning design. We are building a community-focused environment where our members can work, meet, unwind and have fun! Our guiding belief is that business should be a force for good. We care about people and planet as much as profit, and we aim to create spaces that feel welcoming, inclusive and purposeful.

From food and beverage service, to internal and external events, you’ll help bring everything together, ensuring clear communication, smooth handovers and consistently high standards. People leadership sits at the heart of this role. You’ll support recruitment, training and development, manage rotas and staffing levels, and help create a positive, respectful culture where teams feel supported and are proud of what they deliver. The bit about you: An experienced hospitality leader who enjoys being hands-on. You are calm, organised and approachable, and you are comfortable making quick decisions in a demanding environment. Member experience sits front and centre in everything you do, and you appreciate that it is often the small things that have the biggest impact. Passionate about operational excellence, people development and creating memorable guest experiences, you also understand the importance of robust financial performance and control. Experience in restaurants, members’ clubs, hotels or event-led venues is preferred. Why us? At x+why, we’re creating a members’ club defined by thoughtful people with high standards, and a genuine love for hospitality. We believe people do their best work when they feel supported, trusted and valued - because that is how great experiences are made.
