Job Description:

The role:

We're looking for someone who is passionate about great food, safe operations, and creating a consistent experience for customers and store teams. In this role, you'll support our company‑owned and franchise stores across Scotland and the North of England, helping them deliver food that is safe, high‑quality, and aligned with our brand standards.

You'll be part of a team focused on delivering excellent food service and food retail operations. Your work will help stores balance food safety, strong standards, and commercial performance while the business continues to grow. This is a hands‑on role where you'll spend most of your time in stores, coaching teams, supporting change, and making sure our food operations run smoothly.

What you'll do:

  • Support stores in delivering safe, consistent, customer‑focused food operations.
  • Coach leaders and teams to meet food safety, brand, and partner requirements.
  • Provide practical guidance on food‑related activities, including new launches, pilots, and format changes.
  • Use data and insight to identify risks, spot opportunities, and help stores improve performance.
  • Work closely with colleagues across trading, operations, and partner teams to ensure processes land well in stores.
  • Support day‑to‑day partner relationships, including audit and equipment suppliers, when needed.
  • Be available to help with urgent or critical food‑related situations.
  • Contribute to a culture that values learning, continuous improvement, and trying new approaches.

What you bring:

  • Strong understanding of food safety and food service operations, ideally with advanced food hygiene knowledge.
  • Confidence coaching and influencing others in a fast‑moving retail environment.
  • Ability to balance detail with practical problem‑solving.
  • Comfort working independently across a wide geographic area.
  • A collaborative mindset and a willingness to support colleagues beyond your core stores.
  • A positive, open approach to change and new ways of working.

Why this role matters:

Your work will shape how our food service and food retail operations show up for customers every day. You'll help stores deliver safe, reliable, and enjoyable food experiences - and your insight will help us keep improving as we grow.
