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

Who are we?

Nightcap is an award-winning operator in the late-night bar scene, with brands including The Cocktail Club, Tonight Josephine, Barrio and Dirty Martini.

Our mission is simple: everyone deserves a great night out.

We’re fast-paced, creative, and a little bit chaotic (in the best way). We back our people, we push for results, and we have a lot of fun doing it.

Our values

  • We Start at the Bar – decisions are grounded in what’s right for our venues
  • Proud AF – we bring energy, passion and high standards every day
  • Become Your Best Self – we invest in growth and development
  • Own the Outcome – we take responsibility and deliver results
  • People Are Everything – our teams make the magic happen

Ready to run the party?

If you’re a hands-on leader who thrives in high-energy environments and knows how to turn great nights into unforgettable ones, we want to hear from you.

Apply now and let’s see what you can do.
