Designate General Manager - Lead, Grow & Thrive with L’ETO
Maternity Cover (with progression to General Manager – Large Site, 2026)
This role is designed as a genuine career pathway within L’ETO, offering the successful candidate the opportunity to grow with the business and establish themselves long‑term as a General Manager within the group.
We are looking for a Designate General Manager to join L’ETO initially to cover a maternity leave, with a clear and planned progression to General Manager of one of our larger sites in the second half of 2026.
This is an opportunity for an ambitious, commercially minded hospitality leader who is looking to embed themselves in a growing brand, build credibility at site level, and progress into a senior GM role with real scale and visibility.
During the maternity cover period, you will take ownership of an established site, working closely with senior leadership to uphold standards, performance and culture - you will then move into a supported transition and development phase, preparing to take on full responsibility for a large, high‑volume L’ETO site.
- Financial ownership during maternity cover period
- Lead, inspire and develop management and front‑of‑house/back‑of‑house teams
- Drive sales, margins and labour efficiency
- Maintain brand standards, guest experience and operational excellence
- Recruit, train and retain high‑performing teams
- Work closely with senior operations on strategic planning and site development
- Prepare for and support transition into flagship site leadership in Q3 2026
- Commercially astute with strong understanding of P&L, labour control and stock management
- A confident people leader with a coaching mindset
- Calm, organised and resilient in fast‑paced environments
- Ambitious and motivated by long‑term progression rather than short‑term roles
- Clear, guaranteed progression to a large‑site GM role in 2026
- Opportunity to work across different site profiles and scale your impact
- Supportive senior leadership and structured handover period
- Competitive salary, performance bonus and benefits package
- A business with strong growth plans and long‑term career opportunities
If you are a driven hospitality leader looking for stability, progression and scale, we’d love to hear from you. Apply with your CV and a short cover note outlining your GM experience and career goals.
