Job Description:

Do you have a passion for football and sport? Our client is a top league leader in 5-a-side with 43 football centres throughout the UK. Not all 5-a-side pitches are created equal, which is why they have all-weather 5-a-side arenas similar to Europe's top clubs!

The Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for a self-motivated General Manager at our client's 5-a-side complex in Eltham. The General Manager role is hands-on, with full control over sales and operations, as well as managing, training, and developing the team.

General Managers must be sales-focused and responsible for achieving maximum capacity through repeat customers, marketing, or attracting corporate leagues. The role requires working flexible hours to provide continuous management coverage with shifts.

The Candidate

The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience working towards financial KPIs based on financial performance, league games, standard games, children's parties, bar takings, and game percentages.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to build rapport with customers, team captains, local schools, and football coaches.
• Organisation and management skills to oversee staff from reception to referees and meet sales targets.

If you are currently a general manager in a multi-function leisure environment such as a bar, restaurant, nightclub, hotel, bowling alley, cinema, pub, bistro, gym, leisure centre, or sports club, this could be the role for you!
