General Manager - #1778053
SMOK'D
Date: 13 hours ago
City: London
Contract type: Full time
Work schedule: Full day

We’re on the hunt for a rockstar General Manager to take the reins of a quirky backstreet pub just a short stroll from Clapham Junction. We’re not your average boozer — and we’re looking for someone who isn’t your average GM.
This is not a caretaker role. This is an entrepreneurial opportunity to lead a transformation. The venue is shifting to a wet-led focus, and we need someone with the chops to build that up from the taps to the tills. Think buzzing bar trade, events that pack the place out, and a vibe that keeps the locals coming back for more.
We’re already home to live comedy and poker nights, but that’s just the beginning. Got an idea for a whisky tasting? (we have a vast range) A drag brunch? A jazz jam? Great — you’ll have the freedom (and the support) to make it happen. The space is flexible, and there’s massive potential for private hires, community gatherings, and offbeat events.
We want a personality, not just a resume. You’ll need to be a true people person, great at building connections and turning strangers into regulars. This is a neighbourhood pub, and your charm will be as important as your P&L.
If you’re driven, creative, and ready to take full ownership of a pub with character and community at its heart, we’d love to meet you.
This is an opportunity to build a business from the ground up so would really suit someone who is keen to ultimately get started with their own business venture in the future and are looking for a company that wants to help them do that.
