The Role

The Strategy Director is a senior leadership role within Levy's Growth function, responsible for shaping high-quality, strategically aligned commercial solutions and proposals.

• Partner with Operations, Finance, People, Marketing, Technology and Creative teams
• Act as a bridge between Growth and Delivery to ensure smooth mobilisation
• Provide senior challenge and direction across the growth pipeline
• Present solutions and recommendations to senior leadership
• Drive best practice, consistency and quality across solution design

What You Will Bring Experience:

• Senior leadership experience in growth, commercial, strategy, operations or consultancy roles
• Proven track record of shaping complex commercial solutions and proposals
• Experience working in large, service-led or hospitality-led environments
• Strong exposure to multi-disciplinary and matrix teams

Skills & Attributes:

• Strong commercial and financial acumen
• Strategic thinker with excellent solution design capability
• Confident communicator with strong senior stakeholder influence
• Able to bring structure and clarity to complex opportunities
• Pragmatic, credible and delivery-focused

Why Join Levy

This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in shaping Levy's future growth across some of the most exciting and high-profile venues in the UK and Europe.

You will work on major, high-value opportunities, helping to define how Levy partners with clients and delivers world-class guest experiences. In return, you will benefit from strong investment in growth capability, career development and the backing of Compass Group.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, alongside excellent long-term career opportunities.
