The Role:

We have a very exciting opportunity for a passionate and talented General Manager to join our dynamic team. We’re looking for a leader who will understand that running a successful business isn’t just about having a super controlled P&L or living and breathing the brand standards. We want someone who will look after the team and by developing them will deliver an unparalleled customer experience. Naturally energetic and approachable, you’ll lead a successful team of HODs to deliver superior return on investment. You’ll coach and develop your team, working closely with each of them to grow their knowledge and exposure to all areas of the business.

You’ll need to lead from the front whilst motivating your team to drive the brand strategy in all elements of the business and set Castlebridge Hospitality apart from the competition. Getting to know your local neighbourhood is a big priority – you’ll need to know the market and understand how to maximise revenue within the business by looking at the bigger picture. Managing the detail through your HOD’s and team will be second nature and leading by example is something you are no stranger to.

The Ideal Candidate:

We’re looking for a leader! A General Manager who’s ambitious, charismatic and innovative. You’ll need to be an experienced professional with a strong background in hospitality having managed large teams in a similar sized property.

From the very start you’ll need to hit the ground running to begin inspiring your team to deliver a customer experience that sets us apart from our competitors, for all the right reasons.
