Job Description

This role is for a General Manager who loves building something from scratch. You’ll lead the launch of a brand-new site, taking full ownership from pre-opening through to a strong, successful opening and beyond. This is hands-on, high-impact, and not for someone who wants an easy ride.


What you’ll be doing

• Leading the site from pre-opening through to launch and stabilisation

• Hiring, training, and building a high-performing team from day one

• Embedding culture, standards, and brand values before doors open

• Overseeing soft launch, opening weeks, and early trading performance

• Owning P&L, labour, GP, and overall commercial performance

• Working closely with Ops, Head Office, and founders during launch

• Being highly visible on the floor and setting the standard every shift


What we’re looking for

• Proven experience as a General Manager, ideally with new opening experience

• Strong leadership skills and the ability to build teams fast

• Commercially sharp with confidence owning numbers early on

• Calm under pressure and adaptable in fast-changing environments

• Detail-driven with high standards and strong organisation

• Someone who thrives in ambiguity and takes full ownership

What’s in it for you

• Competitive salary plus opening bonus and performance bonus

• The opportunity to put your stamp on a brand-new venue

• Strong support from senior leadership and head office

• Clear progression as the business grows


This is a role for builders, leaders, and doers. If you love the buzz of opening something new and making it successful, this one’s for you.
