General Manager
Central London
£50,000 - £55,000 OTE including bonus
New Opening | November 2026 Start
A new live music and hospitality venue is coming to Central London. We're opening a brand new venue in Central London and are looking for a General Manager to lead the launch and take ownership from day one. This is a chance to build a venue from the ground up, recruit your own team and create the atmosphere, culture and guest experience that will establish the venue as a go-to destination in London's late-night scene. You'll join in November, complete paid training before the opening, then lead the launch.
About the Business
A fast-growing live music and hospitality brand, bringing real hospitality and unforgettable nights to every city we land in. The focus is simple. Great hospitality, great music, memorable nights and an atmosphere that feels genuine.
The Opportunity
As General Manager, you'll have overall responsibility for the performance, people, culture and operation of the venue. You'll lead the opening team, establish the culture from day one and build a high-performing venue that delivers strong customer experiences and commercial results. Working closely with the Operations Manager and Head Office, you'll protect the personality of the brand while driving sales, developing your people and delivering high operational standards.
