The Assistant Catering & Special Events Manager (ACSEM) plays a pivotal role within the Food & Beverage department at Exmoor Country Club. Reporting directly to the Catering & Special Events Manager and the Clubhouse Manager during the off-season, the ACSEM is integral in ensuring the successful execution of all food and beverage experiences, whether for private functions, club events, or daily operations. This role demands a dynamic individual who can oversee catering operations with precision, manage staff effectively, and maintain the highest standards of service excellence. From January through May, the ACSEM will primarily focus on managing the Oakhouse facility during the off-season, ensuring seamless daily operations while supporting the overall food and beverage team.

Key responsibilities of the ACSEM include assisting with the execution of private and club events, training and directing service staff, and maintaining regular communication with members or event committees to ensure their expectations are not only met but exceeded.

During the winter months, the ACSEM shifts focus to the Oakhouse, holding daily pre-service meetings, ensuring facility readiness, managing inventory and ordering, and providing direct guest service during peak periods. The individual must be capable of handling member or guest concerns with professionalism, while also collaborating closely with kitchen and service staff. This position requires flexibility, as working nights, weekends, and holidays is necessary due to the nature of the business.

Overall, the Assistant Catering & Special Events Manager is a vital leader within Exmoor Country Club’s Food & Beverage team, dedicated to upholding the club's tradition of excellence while continuously striving to improve operations and service delivery.
