Jobs

OI PEASANTS! WE’RE RECRUITING… Fancy leading an attraction and being responsible for outrageous behaviour in order to create an inhospitable and gruesome environment?

Working here feels pretty unique, but also cold, dark and foul-smelling! Therefore, we’re looking for someone who is highly motivated and dynamic to work in this distinctively thrilling attraction that will take you back to Edinburgh’s darkest history.

Does this sound like it could be you?

*You’ll have a flair for networking, communicating, and building strong, lasting relationships across the business and as part of the arts and tourism business communities within Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.
*Have significant management experience at a senior level in a complex, multi-functional commercial business, preferably in the attraction/tourism field.
*Possess excellent commercial and financial acumen as well as a real creative and unique flair.
*Have excellent communication and motivational skills, a real passion for this business and the ability to manage relationships across a diverse range of stakeholders.
*Experience in ensuring safety is paramount and managing operational budgets and reviewing and updating operational procedures.

To the wrong candidate, this could be the worst job imaginable. To the right candidate, one who displays traits of repulsiveness, who revels in being unruly, and who has a penchant for the dark side of life – this could be the best job in the world.

In this full-time permanent role, you’ll report to the Regional Director for the UK & Ireland. The key aim of this role is to deliver the financial targets for the attraction whilst maintaining the brand standards of presentation and operation daily. You will work with our mischievous marketing team to create and execute a marketing strategy which drives visitor volume to the Dungeon and with the Edinburgh business communities to support tourism initiatives across the city. Critical to this role will be your ability to lead and motivate the team to ensure excellent standards of guest service, presentation, and maintenance.

Key responsibilities for this role, apart from causing outrage, will include producing and working to a business plan across the year which is designed to ensure delivery of annual profit targets. You will be responsible for financial planning and forecasting of revenue streams; implementing strategies in commercial areas including retail, photography and events and working closely with the brand and attraction marketing teams (did we say mischievous?) to support and drive these functions.

What’s in it for you?

Alongside helping to bring Scotland’s darkest historic events back to life, you’ll also receive a competitive package, which includes:

*A non-contractual discretionary company bonus
*Company share option plan
*33 days holiday including bank holidays
*Private Medical Insurance (Single Cover)
*40% off LEGO online and 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants
*Merlin Magic Pass – giving you free tickets to all our attractions worldwide for you, your *family, and friends every year
*Discounted rates at Merlin hotels all over the world
*Cycle to work scheme
*O2 discount

Sounds pretty great, right?
