About the Role
At BaxterStorey, we believe great food and genuine hospitality start with great people and well-delivered operations. We are seeking a Project & Mobilisation Manager to support the successful launch, refresh, and retention of contracts across our London business portfolio.

- Facilitating regular mobilisation and project check-ins with clear updates on progress, actions, and next steps
- Championing BaxterStorey mobilisation tools, templates, and ways of working to maintain structured yet practical delivery
- Identifying risks, challenges, and dependencies early and collaborating with teams to resolve them
- Supporting Operations with mobilisation planning, resourcing considerations, and first-line assessment of support needs
- Ensuring effective handover into Operations to set teams up for success
- Collaborating with subject matter experts across HR, Finance, Health & Safety, IT, Brand, and Marketing for joined-up delivery
- Capturing learning from mobilisations and contributing ideas for continuous improvement
- Supporting ad-hoc projects to improve efficiency, consistency, and overall experience for teams and clients
