YOUR MISSION The mission of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) is to turn the company's vision into effective, actionable operational strategy that drive business growth and operational excellence across all areas of the organization.

Overseeing all aspects of global operations, the COO will ensure top-tier management of the venues, high employee satisfaction and outstanding customer experience.
WHAT YOU'LL DO Budget and P&L management: Own the budgets and P&L for all venues, ensuring every euro works hard to hit financial goals and keep the business thriving.
