Senior Commercial manager

We are looking for an experienced commercial and visitor experience professional to join our team in the new post of Senior Commercial Manager, reporting into our trading board, Crystal Palace Park Events Ltd (CPPEL), and line managed by the Director of Parks Management. Responsible for achieving ambitious income targets, you will lead the management, development and growth of key revenue generating activities including concessions, leases, retail, licensing, catering, markets and car parking activity (and excluding events and venue hire). Alongside this you will oversee the smooth running of the park as a visitor attraction, ensuring an excellent visitor experience and an accessible, warm welcome to all. The appointment comes at a pivotal moment: in September 2023, after 25 years of community campaigning, Crystal Palace Park Trust took over custodianship of this unique landscape via a 125 year lease from the London Borough of Bromley. We are now working closely with them and a wide variety of other park and community stakeholders to deliver our mission: to protect, manage and improve Crystal Palace Park as a green, historic, ecological, recreational, sporting, cultural and educational resource in the interests of park users and of the wider community.
