THE GIG:

We’re on an exciting journey to create one of the most irresistible travel brands in the world and are building an epic team to help make our ambition a reality.

We love (good) food & bevies, and we assume you do too! This ‘someone’ will lead a large team of Food & Beverage gurus, who reign from all around the world onboard our lovely lady ship, Scarlet. This gig requires a bit of travel between the shipyard & HQ. This entire team will bring our food & bevie strategy to life.

In other words, this ‘someone’ needs to know how to Make Ship Happen. Your excellent attention to detail and self-starter mentality means you can think quick on your feet and keep calm when ship gets real. Ultimately, we won’t be able to remember how we got by without you.

• Deliver a product that Sailors adore and don’t mind spending money on
• Perform daily walkthroughs & inspections during meal times
• Interact with our Sailors and provide world class service
• Spend time in the front of the house & oversee the operation
• Collaborate with the Hotel Director and the other onboard departments
• Monitor & enforce HACCP rules

Super Powers Required:

• The ability to wear many hats & juggle several things at once
• Fearlessly lead & engage with our crew
• All certificates as required by STCW
• Strong verbal & written skills

What Matters to Us

At Virgin, your personality matters as much as how good you are at what you do. We want you to bring it to our hang out spot and help make the place even better. So, we won’t be surprised to hear that when people talk about you they say you are clever, on top of it, able to think ahead, intuitive, passionate and someone people respect and enjoy working with because you make things happen.
