Regional Catering Operations Manager

Regional Catering Operations Manager, Leeds & North of England, up to £60,000 + 10% Bonus + Benefits + Travel Allowance, Amazing Hospitality Company with Fantastic Culture and proven track record of success.

This Isn't Just Another Operations Role. It's An Opportunity To Build Something Exceptional.

Outstanding food can transform a workplace.

Exceptional service can transform a culture.

And great leadership can transform an entire business.

We're looking for a Regional Catering Operations Manager who doesn't simply manage sites—they inspire teams, elevate standards, create unforgettable client experiences, and deliver operational excellence every single day.

This is an opportunity to lead a flagship corporate dining operation in Leeds while overseeing a portfolio of smaller locations across the North of the UK with occasional travel to the corporate Head Office in London. 

You'll be entrusted with a high-profile client environment where quality, service, innovation and consistency matter. Every interaction, every meal and every customer experience contributes to the reputation of the business.

If you're energised by leading people, building high-performing teams, developing future talent and delivering outstanding hospitality experiences, this could be the role you've been waiting for.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Leading excellence across multiple sites

Creating exceptional client partnerships

Developing high-performing teams

Driving commercial performance

Raising standards and driving innovation

Supporting growth and change

What We're Looking For

Proven experience in a well-respected restaurant/food/contract catering, hospitality or food service leadership role (Multi site operations exposure is an advantage to the role)

Strong operational management experience gained within a catering environment.

Excellent financial and commercial acumen

A track record of improving operational performance and service delivery

Exceptional leadership and people development skills

Experience building strong client relationships at senior stakeholder level

The ability to influence, inspire and motivate teams

A hands-on leadership style with a passion for quality and service excellence

Strong organisational and planning skills

Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the region

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a high-profile regional operation, influence strategic decisions, work with a prestigious corporate client and make a genuine impact across multiple locations.

You'll have the autonomy to lead, the support to succeed and the opportunity to build something exceptional.

If you're ready to lead with energy, purpose and ambition—and create a culture where outstanding food, service and hospitality become the standard—we'd love to hear from you.
