Assistant General Manager
V&A Museum
London
Up to £46,000 (depending on experience)
When we founded Benugo 28 years ago we had a vision of not just creating superb, natural food but of giving London something that was a real experience.
This vision is still true today. The Benugo brand stretches from our own award-winning high street stores to cafes and restaurants within some of the world’s best loved public spaces and visitor attraction.
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a experienced Assistant General Manager to join the team at the V&A Museum. Located in South Kensington, the V&A Museum is one of the world’s leading museums of art, design, and culture, welcoming visitors from around the globe.
Across the museum, our cafés offer relaxed and inviting spaces for guests to pause and enjoy great food and drink during their visit. From freshly made coffee and light bites to wholesome lunches and sweet treats, our cafés are a key part of the V&A visitor experience. We pride ourselves on delivering excellent service, quality offerings, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
