General Manager - Hertfordshire
Lead a Great Pub. Build a Great Team. Make a Real Impact.
Are you a passionate hospitality leader who loves people, standards, and creating memorable guest experiences?
We're looking for an exceptional General Manager to lead one of our pubs and play a key role in shaping its future. This is more than a traditional General Manager position. You'll work closely with the founders, leading from the front, building a high-performing team, and delivering outstanding customer experiences every day.
My client believes great pubs are built on great teams. As General Manager, you'll be the cultural and operational heartbeat of the business, with the autonomy to lead, develop people, and drive performance across every area of the pub.
What You'll Be Responsible For
People
- Recruit, train and inspire a high-performing team
- Create a culture of engagement, development and accountability
- Lead performance management, coaching and succession planning
- Be a visible leader who spends time where it matters most, with guests and team members
