Creativity must infuse everything we do, and everyone in the hotel. Performance realities will always exist, but we use these constraints to push, not limit, our creativity. We believe there is always a way to make it work. If we don't have the solution, we dig deeper creatively to find one.

Working alongside the Sporting Club GM and Bar Manager, the Assistant Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day management of all aspects of the culinary and beverage operation, in accordance with hotel standards. The Assistant Manager will direct, implement, and maintain an impeccable service and management philosophy which serves as a guide to respective staff.                                                

Working at The Sporting Club is not your average F&B experience, and no two days are alike. One day you’ll be working with the Executive Culinary Team on menus, staff management, and outlet Operations, and the other you’ll be working with the Marketing team on video/photo shoots, media/influencer visits, and exciting entertainment activations that tell the restaurants story.
