The Role of General Manager:

Our client is looking to appoint a true partner to lead this business, with autonomy, influence and a voice at the table. You will take full ownership of the operation, working closely with senior stakeholders while driving the site forward day to day.

This is a floor-based General Manager role. The venue is built around a loyal regulars’ clientele, so visibility, presence and genuine guest engagement are essential. You will lead, mentor and develop a senior management team, creating a culture people want to be part of and progress within.

You will look to drive additional revenue through events and weekend weddings, using the space and brand to its full potential.
