General Manager -leisure, Sporting Venue £45k Plus Bonus 52k Ote in Dartford, South East

Location: Kent

We’re looking for a standout General Manager to lead one of London’s most exciting, high-energy leisure venues hitting the UK—where food, drinks, and fun collide. This isn’t a desk job. We need someone who thrives on the floor, brings energy, and keeps the vibe alive when it gets busy.

This venue is part of a fast-growing leisure group, already turning over £10m and opening two new sites this year. With more UK launches ahead and European expansion planned, it’s a great time to get on board.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll have experience running a busy, guest-facing venue—ideally from hospitality, leisure, or entertainment. You’ve led diverse teams, driven performance, and delivered great guest experiences. You’re hands-on, calm under pressure, and lead by example. You’re organised, commercially savvy, and energised by being in the thick of it. Above all, you get what this company is about: energy, fun, and high standards. You know how to build team culture that reflects that—and keeps guests coming back.

What you’ll be doing:

• Running day-to-day ops across bar, restaurant & leisure areas
• Leading and motivating a large team
• Delivering a smooth, standout guest experience
• Driving commercial performance and managing P&L
• Building strong team culture and developing talent
• Leading confidently on the floor, especially when it’s busy
• Supporting new site openings

You’ll bring:

• Proven GM experience in high-volume, guest-led venues
• Hospitality, leisure or experiential background
• Confident, hands-on leadership style
• A cool head and a can-do mindset
• Passion for people, guest experience, and results
• Strong operational and commercial acumen

This is a brilliant chance to join a business that’s scaling fast, backing its people, and doing things differently. If you’re ready to lead from the front and have fun doing it—we want to hear from you.
