What you’ll do… - Lead a large, dynamic kitchen team in two of the most exciting new restaurants in Hamburg. - Drive innovation and create a culture of menu development. - Have a firm grip on the costs of the restaurant kitchen, from labour through to always striving to find efficient solutions whilst maintaining the quality and integrity of the menu. - Both guest and team experience will be at the heart of all you do. You’ll lead your team by example, keeping them involved and motivated; helping them feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top Hox experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions.

We leave our egos at the door and help get things done. - You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once. - You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way. What's in it for you... - Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences. - Competitive salary. - Food on us during your shift. - Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us. - Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work. - Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities. - Hox Hero and Nifty Fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values. - An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact. - Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties – we know how to have a good time! - The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding. - Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene. - Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family
