Key Responsibilities:

Oversee all aspects of daily hotel operations, including front of house, F&B, housekeeping, and guest experience.

Work closely with the Head Chef and kitchen team to deliver a food offering aligned with multi-rosette standards and the hotel’s seasonal, local ethos.

Lead and inspire a newly recruited team, instilling a positive and professional working culture from day one.

Manage budgets, staffing, supplier relationships, compliance, and guest satisfaction metrics.

Act as the face of the business, ensuring a warm and memorable guest experience from arrival to departure.

Ideal Candidate:

Proven experience as a General Manager or Hotel Manager in a high-end, independent property.

Strong understanding of hospitality operations, with experience working alongside a multi-rosette kitchen.

Passion for locally sourced food and drink, and a genuine connection to the values of seasonal, sustainable hospitality.

Skilled in team leadership, guest relations, operations, and financial management.

Highly organised, adaptable, and ready to take ownership of a new and ambitious opening.
