What we’re looking for

• At least 3 years’ experience in a senior hospitality management role

• Proven ability to lead large teams and deliver exceptional results

• A genuine passion for food, drink, and people

This is more than just a Assistant General Manager role - it’s a chance to make your mark and build a career with genuine progression all the way to ownership.
