Duty Manager – Bustling City Bar - New Openings - £42,000 + Bonus

These sites are about music and atmosphere, crowd control, queue management, and maintaining a firm but professional door and security presence.

We need someone with proven late-night experience who understands the pace and pressures of that environment, is confident managing licensing requirements and visits, and can de-escalate high risk situations calmly and effectively.

This is a highly operational, logistics driven role.

Hospitality is of course essential, but we’re specifically looking for someone with a strong understanding of risk management who can seamlessly transition the venue from daytime trading into a busy late-night operation.

You’ll be joining a business that values creativity, innovation, and the people who make it all happen.

From crafting inventive drinks to supporting the team and driving sales, this role offers a varied and rewarding day-to-day experience

What they are looking for:

• 1–2 years’ management experience in a premium, high-volume venue
• Proven experience managing a venue with weekly turnover of £40k +
• Cocktail, wine, and beverage knowledge, with a passion for seasonal menus and creative drinks
• Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, labour management, and sales growth strategies
• Ability to lead, mentor, and motivate a diverse team in a fast-paced environment
  Skilled in delivering operational excellence, including service standards, guest satisfaction, and team performance
• Energetic, ambitious, and driven to progress into a General Management role
  Comfortable with late-night trading, events, and high-volume service
• Passion for people, hospitality, and innovation, with a desire to make an impact on a growing business

If you’re driven by quality drinks, vibrant service, and working with passionate people, this is your chance to be part of something special
