Job description

Designate General Manager

Location: Bristol

Benefits: A competitive GM‑level salary with bonus potential of up to 60%, car allowance, private medical + excellent additional benefits

Step into a leadership role with ownership, influence and real opportunity.

As a Designate General Manager, you’ll be preparing to run one of the UK’s most recognised and trusted casino venues. This isn’t a role about keeping things ticking over, it’s for leaders who thrive on taking ownership, who want to help shape culture, develop people, grow a business and create a place teams and customers genuinely love.

You’ll work in a fast paced and exciting environment where leadership truly matters. You’ll learn the industry, understand the gaming floor, and build the confidence and capability to run your own casino. This is an induction with real momentum which is equally challenging, rewarding, and designed to stretch you to your full potential.

Why Join Us?

A leadership role with real stretch

You’ll influence every part of a venue and lead teams of 35–150 people, driving culture, customer experience and performance.

An induction that sets you up to succeed

Three to six months of hands on development across multiple venues, supported by some of our strongest GMs.

A culture that’s moving forward

Our winning behaviours “From Like to Love” is reshaping how we work, with rising team satisfaction and NPS scores that show the difference.

Work that genuinely matters

You won’t just run a venue; you’ll build one by leading on standards, people, performance and atmosphere.

Autonomy when it counts

If you have great ideas, we can give you autonomy to make decisions happen and shape what’s right for your customers and team.

Support that grows with you

From your personal management licence to leadership development and ongoing mentoring.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading your venue to its full potential from the gaming floor to the bar
• Using data and insight to think outside the box in order to drive revenue, visitation and margin growth
• Coaching and developing managers into confident future leaders
• Upholding player protection and compliance in a regulated environment
• Creating a culture where customers feel valued and teams feel proud to belong

What You Bring

• Experience leading large teams in high volume, customer led environments
• A commercial mindset with confidence using data and managing P&L
• Resilience paired with confidence and assured decision making
• Strong judgement in regulated or standards driven settings
• Proven ability to develop others and help shape a great working culture
• Able to work a mix of daytime and evening shifts, including some weekends when needed
• A natural connection with customers and a people centred approach.

Why This Role?

You’ll be hired, paid and supported like a GM from day one, long before taking on your own venue. Grosvenor is investing heavily in product, technology and customer experience, with more growth ahead thanks to new regulatory changes. You’ll be stepping into a business with momentum, backed by a culture that genuinely puts people first.

If you’ve been waiting for the chance to run something bigger, influence culture and lead with real autonomy, this is it.

Ready to lead somewhere that gives you the space to excel?
