COMPANY OVERVIEW

We are working hard on things that people are working hard for. We curate places that reflect our vision of a favourite hangout for the communities around us. With every experience we create, we bring our Mediterranean hospitality forward with its uncompromising focus on quality. Our people and our guests are all alike - forward thinking with an international mindset, curious urbanites who value long lasting informal and personal relationships.

We thrive for success which can also be shared, which is why we invest in and incubate emerging talents who commit to similar values – initiative, dedication, integrity, consciousness and dynamism. 

We are experts at curating concepts within the world of food and beverage. Our offer is made with true restauration in mind – we provide food and drinks that can restore inner balance. Our products are fairly priced, consciously sourced, with deep consideration of our impact as consumers.

We are a small, dynamic team that is experiencing hyper-growth and moving to a scale-up phase. We are based in London with operations also in Paris and Manchester.

About Shaman

Shaman was born in 2018 as a coffee shop in Aldgate East. Since then, we have opened 4 new ventures in London (all based in Locke Hotels) and the expansion plans are not going to stop here. Shaman is currently going through a re-band, to assert our place more thoroughly in the wellness space and to broaden our offering to not only food & beverage. This role will very much be about translating our new vision, mission, ethos to our growing community, both visually and through all other types of content.

This role will include managing channels of all brands within The Initiative’s portfolio, with a particular focus given to Shaman, our fastest growing venture.
