Food & Beverage Product Manager

Find where you belong!

Are you ready to challenge the status quo and redefine "Affordable Travel" for millions of guests? Do you have the commercial flair to turn customer insights into a multi-million pound revenue-driving menu? If yes, our Food & Beverage Product Manager position might be the right next move for you.

What's it all about?

As F&B Product Manager, you will be a key player in our central product and proposition team. You'll not just be responsible for managing our menus, you'll be managing a high-volume nationwide food and beverage engine that spans our internal restaurants, snack vending and breakfast to go solutions.

Your mission is to evolve and optimise our existing F&B propositions while identifying new opportunities grounded in deep customer insight. You will balance commercial rigor with creative flair to ensure our offerings are operationally viable, brand-aligned, and-most importantly-deliver "Affordable Travel for Everyone."

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Execution: Lead tactical projects and support the Senior F&B Product Manager on large-scale strategic shifts, owning everything from KPI setting to final implementation.
• Commercial Performance: Monitor a £70m+ portfolio, identifying ways to maximise revenue and profit through menu development, category pricing reviews, and value engineering.
• Insight & Innovation: Champion the customer by translating data from surveys (Wish), TripAdvisor, and social channels into actionable product recommendations.
• Promotional Planning: Collaborate with Finance and Brand teams to deliver a promotional calendar that drives guest conversion across our website, eCRM, and pre-stay digital journeys.
• Stakeholder & Supplier Management: Act as the bridge between Central Operations, Procurement, and external partners (like Bidfood and Selecta) to ensure SLAs are met and innovation remains constant.
• Post-Activity Analysis: Take full responsibility for reporting on performance, providing the "what next" recommendations that shape our future F&B agenda.

This role requires flexibility due to significant national travel.

Why Travelodge?

We believe in creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can be their true self and belong. We work hard to improve the diversity of our teams and celebrate our differences. And we care about our colleagues' wellbeing, so we ensure there are plenty of resources available so everyone can look after their emotional, physical, financial and work wellbeing. We call this "Better Me".

Who will this appeal to?

We are looking for a high-energy "plate-spinner" and self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments. You are someone who can manage multiple complex workstreams and hit tight deadlines without losing your eye for detail or your drive to challenge the status quo. With a marketing degree and at least five years of experience in F&B proposition development-ideally within hotels, restaurants, or travel-you possess the commercial acumen to lead menu development, pricing strategies, and margin management effortlessly.

A master of both project management and analytical insight, you can translate market data into clear, persuasive recommendations for senior stakeholders. You are equally comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams and external suppliers as you are presenting to leadership. While not essential, a CIM professional certificate and experience within a high-volume value chain will truly set you apart. Above all, you are a passionate advocate for the customer, dedicated to delivering a better guest experience through innovation and creative flair.
