The Role

As General Manager, you'll be responsible for leading a team of 80+ talented individuals across multiple departments, driving both operational excellence and an outstanding guest experience. You'll take ownership of the venue's full performance — from revenue generation and service standards to event delivery and team development. This is a mini‑operations role — perfect for an ambitious GM ready for the next step, or an experienced leader who thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee all aspects of daily operations, including restaurant service, live events, and private functions.
• Lead, motivate, and develop a large, diverse team.
• Drive profitability and manage budgets, forecasting, and KPIs.
• Ensure compliance with all health, safety, and licensing regulations.
• Deliver an exceptional guest experience and maintain the venue's strong community reputation.

About You

• Proven success as a General Manager or Senior Operations Manager in a similar multi‑revenue venue.
• Strong leadership skills and a genuine passion for people.
• Commercially savvy with a focus on both guest experience and profitability.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Enthusiastic, hands‑on, and adaptable to a dynamic environment.
