About the Venue

22 Bishopsgate is a workplace designed to benefit and support a diverse, connected community. The Market is the foodie heart of 22 Bishopsgate, featuring two coffee bars, a collection of food counters, an all-day restaurant, outdoor and indoor bars, and a catered events space. We are adding thriving On-Floor Catering. We're seeking an exceptional General Manager to join our team at 22B.

This leadership role requires balancing strategic vision with hands-on operational excellence in a premium food service environment.

We seek smart, polished individuals who are serious on the outside but fun on the inside! This is an incredible opportunity to join a vibrant, growing food business with clear career progression for the right candidate.
