General Manager – Central London
This is not your typical General Manager role.
We are looking for an energetic, proactive and hands-on leader to take ownership of one of our Central London properties. The role needs someone who is visible, confident and able to lead from the front, bringing structure, pace and efficiency to the operation.
The ideal candidate will have experience within a Marriott-branded hotel, or a similar branded hotel environment, and will understand the importance of standards, consistency and guest experience. You will also need to be commercially focused, with the ability to drive performance, manage costs and make sound decisions that improve the overall operation.
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.
Food and beverage is very limited at this property, so the focus is firmly on rooms, day-to-day operations, team leadership, guest experience and commercial performance.
Responsibilities
- Leading the team
- Improving daily performance
- Driving standards
- Ensuring the property runs smoothly and commercially
You will be responsible for spotting issues quickly, making decisions and following things through without needing to be pushed.
Ideal Candidate
- Operationally strong
- Commercially aware
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

You will need to motivate the team, improve communication, manage priorities and ensure the property is performing to the expected standard.
This role would suit someone who enjoys being close to the operation, solving problems, improving processes and making a visible impact. We are not looking for someone who simply maintains the status quo — we want someone who can take ownership, challenge what is not working and help move the property forward.
If you are energetic, hands-on, commercially focused and passionate about leading people and improving performance, we would like to hear from you.
