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.
