As a General Manager in Greene King Locals you have the ultimate opportunity to treat the pub as your own. Every pub in our Locals portfolio is unique, offering something for everyone. Being a General Manager, you can inject your energy and passion to create a business that's the heart of its community; the decision making and autonomy are yours.

By joining Greene King Locals as General Manager, you'll be joining Greene King, the UK's largest brewery and pub company, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to progress and develop your career.

To be considered for a General Manager role, previous success at General Manager level is desirable; from a hospitality, retail or other fast paced background and the right attitude and outlook is essential!

About the role

The Cornerstone is situated within a busy shopping centre within Kingston Upon Thames, which is a bustling market town, beautifully situated on the banks of the River Thames. With an abundance of both independent and big-name retailers, an impressive heritage and a bustling ancient marketplace, there is plenty to celebrate in Kingston & all just 12 miles from central London and within easy reach of the M25.

After putting some thought into site branding and demo-graphical fit, Greene King Locals have acquired the fantastic site from the Hungry Horse brand within Greene King Destinations as there is a real opportunity to cater to the local community by re branding and re launching the Cornerstone as a 'Proper Local's pub! to Greene King Which in hand, makes total sense due to the main customer base being the local residents of Kingston.

We are recruiting a full Pub Leadership Team; including a General Manager, Assistant Manager & Kitchen Manager - which will then lead to a staff member recruitment campaign delivered by the successful candidates.

The site had a large take when it was branded with Hungry Horse of around 15k + per week. With a mostly wet led customer base (60% Liquor / 40% Food), we anticipate that with a new brand launch and a fully comprehensive PLT, FOH & BOH team, we will be able to get the Cornerstone back on the map and smash those 15k sales!

Ideally, the right General Manager will have experience within a busy city centre managed pub, is massively passionate about people and is ultimately ready to get stuck into an exciting brand re launch!
