The operation: • Seven days a week • Brunch, dinner & premium cocktails, • Private hire & event-led programming, • Strong local focus — relationships and visibility in the area are key The venue is looking for a leader who can: • Build and inspire a team • Drive revenue and commercial performance, • Create local partnerships, • Operate with an ownership mindset Salary circa £45k + performance KPIs, with meaningful upside tied to the success of the business.
