WE’ RE HIRING · 1 ROLE AVAILABLE · CENTRAL LONDON
Centre Manager
Run one of our Central London centres — own the building, lead the team.
What you’ll own
This is a role with real ownership of the building and its commercial life. You run the centre day to day — keep the energy positive, and this is a people-leadership job first, built on a genuine love of working with people. We hire on character and teach the operational craft on top.
- Run the centre day to day. Standards, clients and team — every space immaculate and on-brand.
- Lead and develop the team. 1-2-1s, performance management and personal development plans.
- Own the building. Its 5* hotel standards, its commercial life and its reputation are yours.
- Hold site revenue & budget. Own and review the full site P&L, understanding every line.
- Own the centre’s SMART targets. Events, retention and licence-fee, and team standards — from month three.
Who we’re looking for
We hire on character first — skills can be taught, the person you already are cannot. Above all, we want someone who genuinely loves working with people: a natural team-builder who creates a real community wherever they go. Someone who is Positively Responsive — with a smile; Genuinely Thoughtful — with a point of view; and Devoted to Deliver — empowered to act.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- A love of people. You genuinely love working with people. You lead by example, build and develop a team, and turn a group into a community — this is the part we cannot teach, and the heart of everything we do.
- Mature and reliable. You take feedback on board and act on it, and you are here because you care.
- Standards-driven. You maintain and continually improve centre standards to hotel standards.
- Community & relationship builder. Trusted relationships with clients and contractors — and a community people want to belong to.
- Analytical problem solver. You spot issues early and find practical, lasting fixes.
- Commercial mindset. You understand what drives a centre’s success.
