Job Description

The North Laine is Brighton’s premier multi-use venue, thoughtfully evolving to become the city’s most inclusive sports bar. We’re transforming our late-night entertainment offering into a vibrant sports destination that welcomes everyone, families seeking quality time, students looking for a vibrant social hub, sports enthusiasts and social leagues, and the LGBTQ+ community, all in a welcoming environment.

Our expansive space, renowned food offering, and diverse entertainment options including gaming, pool, and shuffleboard create the perfect backdrop for connection and enjoyment. We’re positioning the North Laine as the alternative to loud, exclusionary sports venues, a place where everyone belongs, every match matters, and great food, good company, and inclusive community are at the heart of everything we do.

We believe in equal opportunities

Laine is a melting pot of kickass individuals, a place where weird is considered wonderful and different is most definitely divine. Homogeneity? It’s a no from us. We’re diversity defenders, so whoever you are, and however you got here, expect to be welcomed with open arms. And if you have any extra needs or want to meet us in a different way, we can adapt our introductions to suit you.

The cool stuff that comes with joining us:

  • Your pub, your vision: Take charge of North Laine Brewery, putting your personal stamp on every aspect while we handle the behind-the-scenes essentials like maintenance and business support.
  • Profit with purpose: Your success is rewarded with a share of the profits—keeping you and your team invested in every milestone.
  • A platform for creativity: From live music to organising beer classes, you’ll have the freedom to dream big and bring those ideas to life. The world is your oyster.
  • Celebrate your wins: Achieve your goals, and you’ll enjoy performance-based bonuses as a reward for your hard work.
  • Collaborate and create: With the support of Laine HQ, you’ll have the resources and guidance to turn your ambitions into reality.
  • Grow with us: Access leadership training, creative workshops, and plenty of opportunities to evolve within Laine’s vibrant network.
  • Perks with personality: Enjoy discounts across our pubs and be part of company events that are as unique as our brand. Work hard and play hard.
  • Join a movement: Be part of Laine’s creative community, shaping the future of hospitality in Brighton and beyond.

Do you fit the bill?

  • Have well-rounded experience: You’ll know how to manage daytime or pull out an unforgettable gig or even create a tailored experience for corporate and private events.
  • Commercial focus: You will know how to drive sales, market events, and keep the pub thriving. You understand the community’s vibe and make the best of it. Knowing how to deal with corporate events is a MUST.
  • You are a hospitality pro: With at least 3 years of experience leading a dynamic venue in an MP or GM position, you’ll know how to keep things running smoothly.
  • A bag of personality: At Laine, we’re all about embracing individuality—no cookie‑cutters here. We want someone who’s as unique as the crowd they’re pulling in.
  • Know the Brighton’ scene: From the best boozers to the night hotspots, you’ve got the lowdown on the local vibe and know how to tailor your offer around it.
  • Be a people person at heart: Passionate about building a community? Tick. We’re all about empowering happy and confident individuals, who can bring out the best in your team.
  • Match our vibe: We give more, care more and live more—and we want an MP who does the same.
  • Social media savvy: You’ll know how to get people talking and keep the buzz going.
  • Love craft beer: A passion for brewing and beer culture is a major plus.

Sound like a bit of you? We can’t wait to meet you.

Who we are:

At Laine, we don’t sleep on change – we are the change. A group of over 50 independently run boozers in Brighton, London, and Birmingham, we’re all about saying hell no to the status quo. Old-school traditions? Nah, we’ll pass. Our community of diverse, creative change‑makers build their own boozers, reflecting the individuals who make them. Pioneers of the present, we’re cultural catalysts, architects of epic moments, crafting everything from club nights to gaming gatherings, all in the name of welcoming the next generation of pub‑goers into joyful, experimental spaces with style!
