General Manager | Graduate by Hilton Cambridge
Location: Cambridge UK
Employment type: Full-time, permanent
Graduate by Hilton Cambridge is looking for an exceptional General Manager to lead its next chapter. Set beside the River Cam in the heart of the city, this is a distinctive hotel with a strong sense of place. We are seeking a leader who can bring together memorable guest experiences, a thriving food and beverage operation and strong commercial performance, while giving the team the direction and support to do their best work.
The role
As General Manager, you will take full responsibility for the hotel’s people, service, operations, and financial results. You will work closely with the ownership and management teams to build on the hotel’s reputation and make the most of its position in Cambridge.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
