Junior Commercial Associate

Job Description

This fast-growing technology business is transforming how hospitality operators manage staffing and workforce planning.

Working with some of the UK's biggest hospitality brands, they've built a platform that combines AI-powered workforce planning with a flexible staffing solution, helping businesses forecast demand, optimise rotas and ensure they're staffed correctly when it matters most.

You'll be working directly with senior leaders in the business and will gain exposure to account management, customer success, commercial strategy and business growth from day one.
