German Doner Kebab in search for head of project management

Fast food retailer looking to appoint experienced industry professional to support its ambitious growth strategy

German Doner Kebab is looking to appoint a head of project management to manage its UK expansion plans.

Now employing over 1,000 people, the brand has opened 35 new restaurants in the UK during the past four years and boasts a development pipeline of 350 franchise units over the next seven years.

German Doner Kebab’s new head of project management will be responsible for the delivery of new restaurant fit-outs, liaising with contractors and consultants to meet brand standards and launch schedules.

The successful candidate will also maintain close relationships with the company’s multi-unit franchise partners as they build their respective restaurant portfolios.

The search is being managed by executive search company Withey & Vedi.

Imran Sayeed, German Doner Kebab CEO, says: “Our idea of bringing a nutritionally balanced gourmet kebab has been a massive hit with UK consumers and this has been reflected in the huge growth we have already achieved in the past two years.

“We have developed a strong growth pipeline with some of the UK’s most established franchise entrepreneurs and are now working closely with them to identify new sites and respond to the growing consumer demand across the UK.

“From this perspective, we’re looking for an experienced head of project management to join us and oversee the growth of our restaurant footprint, while strengthening the relationships with our multi-unit franchise partners.”
 
As well as the UK, German Doner Kebab operates franchised stores in Sweden, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman and Bahrain.
