Job description

Senior General Manager – Bar & Restaurant Operation Heathrow (T3) £65,000 - £75,000 + bonus

The Opportunity:

This is a huge role – one of the busiest, most high‑profile operations in the airport. Turning over £16 million+ annually, with a team of around 120, it’s a flagship site that needs a Senior GM who can keep standards sky‑high while driving serious commercial performance. Heathrow is unique – high pressure, fast pace, and non‑stop – but the rewards and progression are just as big.

The Role:

• Lead and develop a large team across a 60/40 wet‑to‑dry split
• Keep operations tight, service consistent, and the guest experience flawless, even at peak footfall.
• Drive revenue, manage costs, and make smart commercial decisions that keep this site at the top.
• You’ll be hands‑on, visible, and setting the pace.
• Heathrow runs differently: early mornings, late finishes, and every day is different. This isn’t a desk job – you’ll be on the floor, in the thick of it.

The Person:

• Experience running large, branded, high‑volume venues (bars, pubs, or restaurants).
• Proven track record leading teams of 100+ in high‑pressure, high‑footfall environments.
• Commercially sharp and financially astute – comfortable handling big numbers and big targets.
• Strong people manager – able to delegate, empower, and motivate.
• Passionate about hospitality – thrives on creating a brilliant guest experience.
• Decisive, ambitious, and ready to step up into bigger roles within the group (regional opportunities available).
• Must be able to pass Heathrow’s 5‑year security checks (including overseas residency if applicable).
• Comfortable with the unique working patterns that come with an airport operation.
