Operations Director - Future MD - 90/100k plus a strong bonus Location: London (Monday to Friday, office-based) "Please read – this is a little different from an Ops role in the pub sector" A brilliant opportunity has come up for a senior operator looking for something a little different. This London-based role is with a business that is actively buying and selling pubs across the UK, with offices in London, Manchester, and Glasgow. With continued investment and growth in the pipeline, they are now looking for an experienced leader to head up the London office and help drive the next stage of development. This isn’t your typical day-to-day pub operations position. It’s more commercially focused – working smartly and strategically, helping to identify opportunities, develop partnerships, and support the acquisition and sales process. The role is ideally suited to someone who’s grown through pub or hospitality operations but is now ready for a change, looking for something more Monday to Friday and less operationally hands-on. The business is well backed and highly ambitious, with plans to expand significantly over the next 12–18 months. They want someone who understands pubs, is commercially astute, and is confident leading a small team. You’ll be based in their London HQ but working closely with the wider group to ensure smooth execution of deals, strong communication across regions, and strategic input from a true hospitality perspective. The ideal candidate will come from a branded or quality-led pub, bar or restaurant background, having operated at Operations Director level or similar, with proven experience managing teams and growing businesses. This is a future MD-level opportunity for someone who wants to step away from purely operational roles and move into a broader, more strategic leadership position. If you’re based in or near London, love the pub sector, and want a fresh challenge in a commercial and leadership-focused role – we’d love to hear from you. Must have excellent proven experience as a senior operator from the industry with management as an Operations Director – pub/bar sector experience needed If you are keen to discuss the details further, please apply today or send your cv to Stuart Hills OR call 0207 790 2666
