Food & Beverage Operations Manager - Nordic Hotels & Resorts Suomi

Strawberryn keskitetty F&B-tiimi etsii Suomeen sijoittuvaa kollegaa keskittymään Nordic Hotels & Resortsin portfolioon. Tehtävänä on varmistaa konseptien, asiakaslupauksen, tehokkuuden ja kannattavuuden toteutuminen hotellien ruoka- ja juoma palveluissa.

Etsimme analyyttistä, kokenutta ja innostunutta johtajaa, jolla on vahva draivi ja kyky innostaa hotelliemme F&B operaatiot erinomaisiin tuloksiin. Sinulla on kyky ajatella “laatikon ulkopuolelle” ja pyrit aina kehittämään ja näkemään uusia mahdollisuuksia toiminnoissa.

Olet osa Strawberryn keskitettyä food & beverage tiimiä ja raportoit F&B Operations NHR -johtajalle.

Tehtäviisi kuuluu tuloksen ja mittareiden seuranta ja analysointi Suomen NHR-hotelleissamme sekä niiden tukeminen, niin teorian kuin käytännön osalta. Olet hotellien ensisijainen yhteyshenkilö niin ruoka- ja juoma-asioissa kuin mittareiden seurannassa.

Työskentelet tiiviisti sekä muiden keskitetyn F&B-tiimin jäsenten että Suomen NHR hotellien operatiivisen johtajan kanssa.

Työtehtävät?

* Olet osa Strawberryn keskitettyä F&B organisaatiota

* Vastaat kaikista Suomessa sijaitsevien NHR-hotellien ruoka- ja juomapalveluista

* Olet päivittäin yhteydessä hotellien F&B-päälliköihin ja General Managereihin

* Vastaat Suomen NHR-hotellien ruoka- ja juomapalveluiden tulosten kuukausittaisesta seurannasta ja analysoinnista sekä osallistut tulospalavereihin yhdessä General Managerin ja operatiivisen johtoryhmän kanssa.

* Ymmärrät menusuunnittelun, nudgingin ja hankintojen merkityksen

* Vastaat heikosti menestyvien hotellien seurannasta ja toimintasuunnitelmista

* Vastaat relevanttien avainlukujen ja niihin liittyvien toimenpiteiden analysoinnista ja arvioinnista.

* Teet säännöllisiä vierailuja hotelleihin

* Osallistut ja annat panoksesi sisäisiin kokouksiin

* Olet osa ketterää tiimiä, jossa jokaisen odotetaan jakavan tietoa ja ideoita – ja useimmiten toimivan useammassa roolissa kuin sähköpostin allekirjoituksessa mainitussa.

Sinä?

Olet luova, positiivinen ja sinun on helppo kommunikoida kaikenlaisten ihmisten kanssa, sekä kirjallisesti että suullisesti. Olet selkeä ja jäsennelty, sinulla on vahvat ihmissuhdetaidot ja kyky navigoida eri persoonallisuuksien kanssa tulosten saavuttamiseksi.

Sinulla on laaja tausta ruoka- ja juoma-alalta ja merkittävä kokemus operatiivisista tehtävistä. Olet analyyttinen, ymmärrät erinomaisesti lukuja ja tuloksia ja osaat selittää ne tavalla, joka saa kaikki mukaan. Rakastat avainlukujen ja toimintojen analysointia keskittyen hotellin tulosten, sekä taloudellisten että asiakas- ja henkilöstötyytyväisyyden lisäämiseen ja maksimointiin.

Sinulla ei ole ongelmia viettää suurta osaa työajastasi liikkeellä ja työskentelet yhtä hyvin junassa kuin hotellin aulassa. Seuraat alamme trendejä ja kehitystä. Keittiö tausta on etu. Sinun on oltava sujuva Suomen ja Englannin kielessä. Ruotsin- tai Norjan- kielen taito katsotaan eduksi.

Minä & tiimi?

Strawberryn keskitetty F&B-tiimi koostuu yhteensä seitsemästätoista henkilöstä, ja sitä johtaa SVP Food & Beverage.

Olet osa tiivistä tiimiä, joka koostuu tällä hetkellä kolmesta fantastisesta tiimin jäsenestä, ja raportoit NHR:n ruoka- ja juomatoimintojen johtajalle.

Toimipisteesi on Suomessa ja työskentelet suurimman osan ajastasi Suomessa. Jonkin verran matkustamista Ruotsiin/Norjaan F&B-tiimin tapaamiseksi vaaditaan. Työskentelet Suomen pääkonttorista, kun et työskentele jostakin hotellistamme. Lähimmät päivittäiset kollegasi ovat Suomen NHR-hotellien F&B-päälliköt, keittiömestarit ja General Managerit, sekä Suomen operatiivinen johtaja ja NHR-hotellien F&B-tiimi.

Kiinnostuitko? Lähetä hakemuksesi jo tänään!

Hakuaika päättyy 4.8.2025

Haastatteluja järjestetään jatkuvasti ja paikka voidaan täyttää ennen hakuajan päättymistä.
