You will have a solid background in hospitality, along with experience in developing and supporting training programs. The ability to make informed decisions and provide relevant advice to various franchise owners is essential for driving performance and achieving business objectives. Resilience and flexibility are also essential, as is the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. As a confident and empathetic communicator, you will excel at building strong relationships with franchisees, empowering them to reach their goals. A proactive mindset and a dedication to fostering the growth and profitability of our franchise network will make you the perfect fit for this position.
Why join us as our Franchise Support Manager?

We also offer recharge leave, an initiative that provides our team 5 additional days off annually to recharge in whatever way you like, in support of your personal and professional growth. Your role and learning opportunities will be fostered by a leader who is equipped with a deep understanding of the Robert Harris brand. You will be provided with a company vehicle and all necessary tools of the trade to support you in your role.
