General Manager – New Live Music Venue – Soho
up to 75k
Salary: £65,000–£75,000 + bonus
We are recruiting for an exciting new opening in the heart of Soho for a globally recognised hospitality and entertainment business, launching a seriously cool new live music concept in London.
This is much more than a traditional restaurant or bar operation. Live music and entertainment will sit at the heart of the concept, creating an energetic, immersive experience for guests and bringing together exceptional hospitality, food, drinks, and world-class entertainment.
The business is an established global brand with a strong reputation for creating distinctive, high-energy venues in major cities. This Soho opening is a major new launch for the group, and the Operations Manager will be joining at the beginning of the journey, helping to build the team, establish the culture, and set the operational standards from day one.
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.
