Job Description

Regional Manager

Zachary Daniels is partnering with a highly commercial, service-led, private equity-backed retailer to appoint a Regional Manager across London and inside the M25.

This opportunity is particularly well suited to leaders from high street hospitality or QSR environments, as well as small-format retail, who are used to operating at pace, leading through people and driving performance across multiple locations in a fast-moving, high-footfall role.

The Role

As Regional Manager, you will take full accountability for regional performance, leading through a team of Area Managers across a diverse portfolio of smaller, high-footfall stores across London.

This is a hands-on leadership role where success comes from being highly visible, close to the operation and able to balance customer experience with strong commercial delivery in a competitive urban market.

You will:

  • Lead, coach and develop a team of Area Managers, building capability and future talent

  • Drive sales, margin and cost performance across a multi-site London estate

  • Embed a strong, service-led culture across smaller store environments

  • Ensure consistent operational standards and execution across all locations

  • Deliver change and improvements at pace within a fast-moving, PE-backed business

  • Use clear KPIs and commercial insight to drive accountability and performance

  • Act as a visible leader and role model across your region

About You

This role is ideal for a regional or senior multi-site leader from high street hospitality, QSR or small-box retail who thrives in a fast-paced, people-first environment.

You will bring:

  • Multi-site leadership experience across high street hospitality, QSR or smaller format retail operations

  • A hands-on, people-led approach with the ability to influence at all levels

  • Experience developing managers and building high-performing teams

  • Strong commercial awareness with a focus on driving sales and controlling costs

  • The ability to operate with pace, autonomy and accountability

  • A track record of delivering results through others in a multi-site environment

Why Apply?

  • A senior leadership role within a growing, PE-backed business

  • The opportunity to shape performance, culture and leadership capability

  • A dynamic London-based role suited to leaders who enjoy being close to the detail

  • Competitive package with strong bonus and benefits

If you're currently operating in high street hospitality, QSR or small-format retail in London and are looking for your next step into a broader regional role, we'd love to hear from you.
