Operations Manager
A new chapter in informal luxury hospitality is coming to St Mawes. This exciting new hotel will bring 56 beautifully designed bedrooms, a vibrant café, and a relaxing spa experience to one of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastal destinations.
We’re looking for an Operations Manager to join the team and help us create the kind of guest experience people genuinely remember.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves being at the heart of hotel life — visible, hands-on and working alongside the team to make sure every part of the guest journey feels effortless.
You’ll have responsibility for all guest facing areas of the hotel, and in the General Manager’s absence you’ll also oversee the Spa experience, ensuring standards, service and the overall guest journey remain seamless across the hotel.
We’re looking for someone who understands how important those first welcomes, memorable meals, thoughtful touches and smooth departures are in shaping a guest’s stay.
You’ll work closely with our General Manager to lead and develop the team, drive standards and make sure the hotel runs beautifully day to day.
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.
What you will be doing

- Oversee the Reception operation, ensuring arrivals, departures and guest enquiries are handled efficiently and professionally.
- Take operational responsibility for the Restaurant, Bar and other Food & Beverage outlets.
- Promote teamwork across departments and ensure employees understand how their role contributes to the overall guest experience.
- Oversee the Spa experience, ensuring seamless guests journeys
- Support the General Manager in achieving hotel revenue, payroll and profitability targets.
What we are looking for
We’d love to hear from you if you’re someone who:
- Is a natural, warm and engaging leader
- Has strong hotel or hospitality management experience
- Loves being on the floor and involved in the operation
- Understands great food & Beverage and Front Office service
