156 Best co founder Jobs in London (June 2025)

Hi, I’m Rotsen co-founder of El Pollote. After years of building this place with my partner Katherine, we’ve reached a point where we need someone to step in and lead the day-to-day operations so we can focus on the bigger picture. This isn’t just a job post. It’s us being real: we’ve built something we care deeply about, but we can’t do it alone anymore so we’re looking for an experienced, driven and hands-on General Manager to take charge of our Carnaby Street location and help lead El Pollote into its next chapter. About El Pollote El Pollote is a bold and unapologetic celebration of Latino flavour and street energy, served through award-winning food, vibrant cocktails and a team that brings the vibe every day. We're not a typical fried chicken joint, we're something different, something louder, something that lives and breathes passion and pride. We're proud to be independent, immigrant-built, and flavour-first. Our food is made from scratch, our culture is rooted in Latin America and our energy comes from the streets we grew up in.

What We’re Looking For •⁠ ⁠Proven experience as a General Manager in a busy, high-pressure restaurant. •⁠ ⁠Strong leadership and communication skills, you lead by example! •⁠ ⁠A head for numbers and systems and a heart for people. •⁠ ⁠Someone comfortable taking ownership, not just following orders. •⁠ ⁠Passion for hospitality, Latino culture, and creating great experiences. •⁠ ⁠Fluent in English and Spanish(required for team communication). What We’re Offering •⁠ ⁠Salary: £40,000 – £45,000, depending on experience. •⁠ ⁠Performance bonus structure tied to revenue, staff retention and guest experience. •⁠ ⁠Full creative involvement in the future of the brand. •⁠ ⁠Staff meals, discounts and a role you can genuinely make your own. •⁠ ⁠A workplace where your voice matters and where we work hard but never fake it.
