Recruiting, training, coaching and retaining a high-performing team


Establishing a positive and engaging culture for employees and customers


Delivering consistently high standards of service and operational excellence


Taking ownership of the venue’s commercial and financial performance


Managing labour planning, stock control, waste and controllable costs

Building strong relationships within the Dundee community


Developing local partnerships, events and initiatives that drive awareness and repeat business


Ensuring all operational, licensing, health and safety, and compliance standards are maintained

You will ideally have:



  • Previous experience as a General Manager within a busy, high-volume hospitality venue


A strong customer-first and hospitality-led approach


Proven experience recruiting, developing and motivating teams


Strong commercial acumen and an understanding of profit, not only sales


Experience managing labour, stock, budgets and controllable costs


Excellent organisational, communication and decision-making skills


The confidence to work independently and take genuine ownership


A proactive, positive and solutions-focused approach


An understanding of the Dundee market or a strong desire to become part of the local community




Experience opening a new venue or leading a team through a period of significant change would be highly advantageous.


What is on offer



  • Competitive base salary


Achievable quarterly performance bonus


Additional profit-sharing opportunity


Company car


The opportunity to shape and lead a major new venue opening


Significant autonomy and responsibility


Long-term career progression within a growing hospitality business


Employee discount


Free on-site parking
