The Opportunity 

Are you a driven General Manager looking to lead a high-volume, late-night cocktail bar in one of London’s busiest nightlife destinations? Be At One Russell Street, just moments from Covent Garden station, is seeking an experienced and energetic leader to take this fast-paced venue to the next level.

This is an exceptional opportunity to manage a single-floor, 200-capacity bar in the heart of the West End, surrounded by thriving late-night hospitality venues and a strong industry crowd.

Your leadership will inspire a small but vital management and front of house team, building capability, confidence and pride in the brand.

Success in this role requires a strong commercial mindset, with the ability to analyse performance, manage costs and maximise profitability. You will use your creativity to drive sales through engaging cocktail promotions, themed nights, partnerships and innovative ideas that keep the venue fresh, exciting and competitive within the Covent Garden nightlife scene.
