Description:

Gymkhana Fine Foods Retail are seeking a part time Finance Assistant to join their team. This role is office based for 20 hours per week. The hours can be flexible but one of the working days must be a Monday or Friday.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Finance Assistant looking for a new role in an award winning, critically acclaimed group.

Gymkhana Fine Foods

Gymkhana Fine Foods is a range of premium Indian pantry staples aimed to re-imagine and elevate Indian cooking at home. It’s born from the kitchen of two-star Michelin restaurant, Gymkhana in Mayfair, London and is fast creating a new category of premium Indian at home.

Since Gymkhana first entered the London dining scene ten years ago, it has transformed the way UK diners view Indian cuisine, maintaining its Michelin star every year and recently being awarded a 2nd Michelin star in 2024. While the restaurant reimagined Indian dining out, we are here to reimagine Indian cooking with our pantry collection (of cooking sauces, marinades, and condiments) and meal-kits where consumers can enjoy the same taste, and rich depth of flavour.

The business has grown exponentially in just the first 6 months, landing listings in Whole Foods Market, Ocado, Selfridges and recently launched a concession and rotisserie residency in the iconic Harrods Food Hall. With impressive financial backing from the world’s leading F&B investors and expansion plans in the UK, Middle East, and USA in 2024/25, we are looking for an exceptional commercial manager to help create and execute a unique proposition which disrupts the category.
