“Great Seafood and Good Times”
We are a family-owned seafood specialist, sourcing premium
sustainable seafood for over 20 years. Our story began with our co-founders Ben
and Robin becoming oyster merchants. This has developed into the UK’s leading seafood
supplier, Wright Brothers wholesale, supplying over 500 restaurants across the
UK. Most recently we have launched our online fishmonger, Wright Brothers at
Home, supplying that same quality seafood direct to your door nationwide. We
are proud to have three London restaurants of our own located in the iconic
neighbourhoods of Battersea Power Station, Borough Market and South Kensington.
Battersea Power Station is our largest restaurant and we are
looking for an experienced Assistant General Manager, to work closely with the
GM to manage the restaurant operationally whilst being a positive role
model to lead our passionate restaurant team in delivering the best seafood
experience to our guests.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
* All
things people – lead, inspire and support your team to deliver memorable
experience for all our guests.
* Work
with the GM to manage all aspects of the people function in relation to
recruitment, training, development, and performance.
* Encourage
a culture of continual learning - as a team we are always developing our
knowledge to provide our guests with the ultimate experience, this can
range from seasonal changes, the history of our ports and day boats or
even the viniculture and provenance behind our drinks menus.
* Drive
sales, control costs and have joint accountability for the financial
performance of the site.
* Maintain
high standards of compliance, follow all reporting and operational
procedures.
WHO YOU WILL BE:
* A
natural leader – encourage positivity, think inclusively, and nurture a
culture of teamwork and respect.
* Financially
astute and commercially driven - experienced in managing budgets, P+L and
overall financial performance.
* Be
forward thinking, adopt a proactive mindset with an ability to forecast
and plan ahead.
* We
believe people perform at their best when they have autonomy and are
empowered to make their own decisions. Whilst you will be working under
the guidance of your GM, you will have a high level of independence in
your day to day role. A proven track record of planning and successfully
executing operational and people projects is therefore important.
* We
consider our AGM as 'GM's in waiting' so the perfect candidate will
ideally have prior experience in an AGM role, or 3 – 4 years’ experience in an Assistant Manager
role within a high volume, premium casual environment. The role has
potential for long term growth so if you are looking to develop your
career this could be the perfect role for you.
* A
seafood lover and an oyster enthusiast! Whilst we provide training, a keen
interest in seafood and sustainability would be highly desirable.
In a nutshell we are – welcoming, positive, hardworking,
caring, passionate – if this is you too, we’d love to have you on board.
