A high-profile restaurant opening in Soho this summer is seeking an exceptional General Manager to lead one of the most anticipated launches in London's hospitality scene.

* Create a strong, positive culture from day one
* Ensure operational excellence across all areas of the business
The Profile

* The opportunity to lead a major central London opening
* Long-term progression within an ambitious and growing group
Why This Role?
Openings like this don't come up often. You are not inheriting a business. You are building one.
