Deputy General Manager
York | Up to £52,000 plus bonus | Relocation supported
Opportunity
A fantastic lifestyle hotel in the heart of York is looking for a Deputy General Manager to work closely with the GM to lead the operation.
This is one of the largest and best-known properties in the city – 150 bedrooms, a full-service brasserie, a rooftop restaurant and bar that trades as a destination in its own right, a spa, and a meetings and events operation with capacity for 180. Sitting within a national boutique hotel group operating multiple properties across the UK.
The Role
Reporting directly to the General Manager and deputising in their absence with full operational authority:
- Day-to-day operational leadership across rooms, food and beverage, spa and events, leading a team of five heads of department and a total team of 120
- Commercial ownership alongside the General Manager – P&L, payroll and rota management, cost of sales, forecasting and delivery of budgeted GOP
- Driving guest satisfaction and reputation scores across bedrooms and both food and beverage outlets
- Recruitment, retention, training and succession across the management team
- Compliance ownership: health and safety, food safety, licensing and brand audit
- Commercial input into the hotel's sales and marketing plan alongside the cluster sales function and central revenue team
- Particular focus on the rooftop operation – maintaining its market position and growing non-resident covers and spend
