Assistant Manager – Greek Street Live, Soho, London


Location: Soho, London, W1


Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience + performance bonus


Hours: Full-time, focusing heavily on evening and late-night shifts


Are you an operational wizard with a passion for world-class hospitality, live music, and the electric buzz of Soho nightlife?
Greek Street Live has become a cornerstone of Soho's vibrant culture, renowned as a live music institution featuring world-class artists and bands operating as a dynamic, high-volume, wet-led venue. We are currently seeking an experienced and dedicated Assistant Manager to help lead our talented team. This role is perfect for a resilient leader who thrives under pressure and excels at managing complex operations where high-volume bar service meets premium dining.


The Venue: A Soho Institution in the making
Greek Street Live is a venue of two halves: by early evening, we host a popular and growing restaurant service, catering to discerning diners with pre-theatre menus, exquisite à la carte options, and set dining experiences. As the evening progresses, we transition into a buzzing, late-night hub where world-class live music takes centre stage and our bar becomes a high-volume, wet-led party bar. Your challenge will be ensuring excellence across both dimensions.


The Role: Assistant Manager
Reporting directly to the General Manager, the Assistant Manager is the operational driving force of the venue during all service hours, with a specific focus on managing the demanding evening and late-night trade.
