OPERATIONS MANAGER – LOCKE MILLENNIUM BRIDGE
We’re seeking a driven Operations Manager to support our hotel operations and deliver an exceptional guest experience.
Reporting into the General Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the hotel, ensuring all departments operate smoothly and consistently meet the highest standards of service. Working closely with teams across Front Office, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, and Maintenance, you will drive efficiency, performance, and guest satisfaction.
We’re looking for a hands-on leader who leads by example, inspires their team, and creates a positive, high-performing culture.
THE STAGE IS SET
The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent.
What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere—and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach.
Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given—great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often loses.
This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey—step on stage and play your part.

Operational Management
- Manage and coordinate all hotel departments, including Front Office, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, Maintenance, and other operational departments.
- Ensure compliance with health, safety, and legal regulations.
- Monitor daily operations to maintain smooth functioning and resolve issues promptly.
