General Manager – Blame Gloria
Gloria doesn’t do quiet nights.
She throws brunches that turn into full-blown parties. She’s disco, drag, dancing on tables, and zero apologies. Guests come for one drink and stay for the night. And when things get a little out of hand… well, you can Blame Gloria.
We’re looking for a General Manager who can lead from the front, own the energy, and turn every shift into something unforgettable.
What you’ll be doing
This isn’t a sit-back-and-observe role. You’ll be right in the middle of it.
* Owning the full guest experience, from high-energy brunches to late-night dancefloors
* Running a fast-paced, high-volume venue with confidence and control
* Driving performance across P&L, labour, stock and standards
* Building, developing and retaining a team that brings the party to life every shift
* Leading from the front – whether that’s on the floor, behind the bar, or supporting your team when it’s three-deep
* Bringing ideas to life – events, activations and moments that make your venue the place to be
* Ensuring full compliance with licensing, health & safety, and company standards
What we’re looking for
You’re not just a manager – you’re a leader, a host, and the energy in the room.
* Proven experience as a General Manager (or strong Deputy ready to step up) in a high-volume, late-night or premium bar environment
* Commercially sharp, confident with P&L and running your business
* Passionate about cocktails, service, and creating unforgettable guest experiences
* A natural leader who builds strong, motivated and high-performing teams
* Hands‑on and not afraid to jump in wherever needed
* Creative, driven and always looking for ways to elevate your venue
* Calm under pressure, organised, and solutions-focused
What’s in it for you
* £45,000 – £50,000 base salary + bonus + service charge
* A bonus scheme that rewards performance and success
* Up to 50% discount across Nightcap venues
* Private medical insurance
* 4x salary life assurance
* Stream – early access to your pay
* Employee Assistance Programme for wellbeing, financial and personal support
* Real development opportunities – we invest in our people and progression
