Cluster Beverage Manager at InterContinental Residences Dubai Business Bay

A Role That Connects Two Hotels Through One Passion – The Beverage Identity Two hotels. Two personalities. Two very different moments in their journey. At InterContinental Residences Dubai Business Bay, the focus is on delivering exceptional beverage experiences every day, driving performance, developing the team, and continuing to evolve an established operation.

We are looking for a Cluster Beverage Manager who can do both. Someone who understands that great beverage programmes are built through people, product, creativity, commercial thinking, and genuine hospitality. You won't simply oversee beverage.
