You will play a key role in shaping how we scale, working closely with suppliers, chefs, and commercial teams to drive efficiency and deliver value to our partner hotels.

You may already have experience in procurement or supply chain, or come from hospitality, operations, finance, or consulting with strong analytical capabilities and an interest in commercial strategy.
Key attributes include
A proactive, solution-oriented mindset with the ability to improve processes and outcomes
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across different teams
An analytical approach with confidence working with data and drawing insights
A sense of ownership and accountability, with the ability to take initiative and follow through

A dynamic environment with streamlined decision-making and limited bureaucracy
The chance to help shape and grow a new area within Hilton

The Role EnvironmentThis is not a traditional hotel-based role. It combines elements of strategy, operations, and analytics within a corporate setting that values agility and collaboration.

It is an environment well suited to someone who wants to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact early in their career.
