General Manager - Edinburgh New Town OTE: £47,000-£49,000
 
Flexible Workforce Solutions are excited to be recruiting for an established late‑night bar and live music party venue in the heart of Edinburgh - known for its electric atmosphere, strong drinks offer and nights that go off.
 
Owned and operated by an established, and growing, hospitality group, this is a high‑energy, entertainment‑led business that thrives on great music, packed rooms and a young, vibrant crowd. We're now looking for a personality‑driven General Manager who knows how to keep the party moving while keeping standards tight.

  • TRONC: Guaranteed £150 per week
  • Bonus: £3,000-£4,000 per annum
  • OTE: £47,000-£49,000
This is not a quiet, hands‑off role. It's about energy, presence and leadership - someone who leads from the front, builds a buzzing culture and knows how to turn a great night into a consistently brilliant operation.
What Makes This Role
  • Established, high‑profile late‑night bar with a loyal following
  • Live music and party‑led trading at its core
  • Strong drinks focus with volume and pace
  • Backed by a respected and growing independent operator
  • Real autonomy to shape team culture, vibe and guest experience
You Will Be Responsible For
  • Full operational leadership of day‑to‑day and late‑night trading
  • Building, motivating and leading a young, energetic bar team
  • Upholding standards while maintaining an infectious, fun atmosphere
  • Driving sales, managing Labour, and delivering strong commercial results
  • Overseeing compliance, safety, and operational best practice
  • Working closely with Ops leadership on performance and development
Our Expectations of the Right Candidate
  • Proven General Manager experience in late‑night bars, events or entertainment‑led venues
  • A natural host with big personality and strong leadership presence
  • Able to balance fun, high‑energy service with structure and standards
  • Commercially aware with a solid understanding of wet‑led performance
  • Confident managing teams, rotas, costs and busy late‑night service
  • Positive, driven and aligned with the groups' quality-led culture and ambition for innovation and growth
This is a brilliant opportunity for a GM who lives and breathes nightlife, loves building teams and knows how to create nights people talk about. This venue is all about atmosphere, music and good times - and the General Manager sets the tone.
