Operations & Events Hospitality Manager – Kildare

Our client is a leading Irish hospitality and food service provider, delivering high-quality catering, corporate hospitality, and large-scale events across a vibrant, fast-paced environment. With a diverse mix of daily catering, multiple F&B outlets, and high-volume events, this is a role that offers real variety and hands-on experience across a dynamic operation.

• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, varied environment and manage multiple priorities
