We are looking for a confident, organised and naturally warm Sales & Events Manager to lead the sales, reservations and events experience across The Stables. This is a highly forward-facing role, perfect for someone who loves connecting with people, building relationships and turning enquiries into memorable experiences. You will be the key point of contact for guests booking workshops, private dining, events and buy-outs, ensuring every interaction reflects the personality of our brands.
Isca is a modern, feminine and joyful restaurant that remains refined, thoughtful and special. It takes reservations across all services and offers a setting ideal for celebrations, gatherings and curated events. Edie’s Kitchen is a relaxed, daytime bistro and does not take reservations for regular service, but is available for exclusive evening buy-outs when closed — offering a more informal setting for private events. Working closely with the General Manager, restaurant teams and senior leadership, you’ll play a key role in shaping and growing our events and sales offering while delivering a seamless, personal and memorable guest journey.
