Working as an Area Manager for Alshaya gives you the opportunity to work with a dynamic, performance-focused team in a region where the restaurant industry is thriving.

Requirements
Using your existing multi-unit retail or hospitality management experience you will oversee store operations for a designated area - which could be as large as a whole country or a group of small operating markets. Your remit will include new store openings, employee development and leading your store management teams to achieve business targets.
