belfast | ireland | 30% + quarterly bonus + competitive salary | car allowance at wagamama, food is life and we’re here to make every bite count.

We’re looking for an operations manager to join us. Ready to dive in and stir things up?
Purpose
Ireland’s hospitality scene is alive with possibility. From Dublin to Belfast, there’s energy, ambition and real momentum, and we’re right in the heart of it. We’ve already brought our soul‑filled bowls to Liffey Valley, Dundrum and Belfast Victoria Square + O2 Centre, and that’s just the beginning. This isn’t just an ops manager role, this is your chance to lead something meaningful. To take what we’ve started and help turn it into something bigger across Ireland. You’ll look after a growing patch of Wagamama restaurants, guiding your general managers, lifting your teams and creating spaces that feel welcoming, energetic and full of purpose. You’ll be right there in the middle of it all, from the buzz of service to the detail behind the numbers. You’ll take ownership, make change and spot the small things that make a big difference. You’ll play a key role in what comes next, partnering with our property team to find the right new locations. Think Cork, Galway, more of Dublin. We’re open, and you’ll help bring each one to life, from first walkthrough to opening night.

- Lead with confidence but keep it grounded
- Care just as much about people as you do performance
- Believe in food that brings people together
- See opportunity where others might see challenge
