Operations Manager - Tottenham Hotspur Training Ground - Enfield

About the Job

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is one of the leading forces in world football. Winner of the League, FA Cup, European Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur have been at the cutting edge of football for over 125 years.

In order to continue their success at the highest level, the Club has now invested in the development of a new Training Centre based in Bulls Cross in Enfield, North London. The Centre will be the new home for the Club's First Team and Youth Academy training and will provide an additional base for the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, the Club's charity engaged in sport-related community work.

The Club is now seeking to recruit an Operations Manager to take responsibility for the Training Centre and its grounds. You will direct and manage the entire operations for the site including maintenance, security, catering, groundstaff and IT. The site will be developed to the highest standard and you will ensure that a five star service is offered and delivered across all operations.

Working closely with the Director of Football Administration and the Coaching Staff, you will establish all operating procedures and develop processes that maintain standards of excellence at all times.

You will lead your team from the front and be committed to delivering on all aspects of the operations. The Training Ground will offer first class facilities 356 days per year so the Operations Manager will be need to be flexible on working hours.

This is a key role in the development and future success of the Club and will require an experienced Operations Manager who is accustomed to managing a first class site or property where service is paramount and operations are seamless and faultless. A background in hotels or members clubs or stadium/ground management would be ideal but you must have an eye for detail and the ability to ensure the highest quality of service and delivery.

To apply for this exciting new role, please send your CV to our retained consultants Phillip Chambers or Chris Davies at Good People Ltd.

Might apply for that meself like- I think my CV will look good

Name: SAFCFTM

About Me: I am the best person for this job and I would be able to singlehandedly ensure that the entire club trebles its turnover whilst reducing wages and other outgoings by 90% with absolutely no negative impact on the quality of the squad who would in fact go on to win the league and, the season after, would follow this up by finally bringing the Champions League trophy to London. I realise that the job you would be employing me for doesn't actually involve working with the first team, nor does it involve negotiating contracts, and so you could possibly be forgiven for thinking that everything I have just written is absolute bullshit. That is a fair observation, but I would counter this by quoting from your advert where you state "Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is one of the leading forces in world football" and "Tottenham Hotspur have been at the cutting edge of football for over 125 years" and respectfully suggest that you can't really criticise me for bullshit when you started it.

I am available immediately for interview and trust that I shall be hearing from you in the near future x

This new training ground is up the road from me. I bet I'm going to see all their tacky bling mobiles about town. I'll have to carry eggs permanently with me from now on.

Oh God the thought of Percy working for them has my brain spinning. I'm sure it would be even funnier than his agony aunt posts of yester year. Please make it happen!
