General Manager
- Up to 55k plus Bonus

We're looking for a General Manager for The Cow in Stratford, a modern British Pub set over 3 floors, set just a short stroll from the Olympic Park and London Stadium. The perfect candidate has experience running multi-faceted businesses in a fresh food environment, driving sales and building a business.

The Cow is a chameleon of a business - customers visit to grab a quick bite after shopping at Westfield, gather with friends and workmates to drink into the night, and use it as a rehearsal room to sing “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles” before a West Ham match. There are plenty of spaces which can be used for private hires and events.

The pub is designed to flex with the needs of the guests - Downstairs, its perfect for boozy crowds tucking into wings and sausage rolls. Upstairs, settle in for a beautifully dry‑aged steak, cooked exactly how you like it.

Food wise - its all about whole‑cow butchery - using everything from dry‑aged steaks to bones proudly sticking out of our handmade pies. The menus evolve every month to reflect the freshest, most hyper‑seasonal ingredients available. If you're a General Manager that takes pride in running a complex business and thinks big then we want to hear from you.

We believe pubs should be differentiated and individual and so we are looking for entrepreneurial General Managers to put their own stamp on our businesses. We're all about freedom within a framework - you decide what goes on the food menu - and that doesn't mean picking from a bank of recipes! You tailor your offer to your guests and grow the business in line with your business vision!

You decide what events and sales driving to do, what the team uniform is, and look after all your own recruitment and marketing. If you are a people-focused Pub General Manager with fresh food experience, then we want to hear from you.

• Huge annual bonus potential - up to 100% of your salary!
• Private Health Insurance
• Enhanced Company Pension Scheme
• Life Assurance Scheme
• 20% discount in all Young's pubs and 30% discount on overnight stays in our Pubs with Rooms
• Access to our Share Save Scheme
• Access to our Career Pathway and Training and Development Courses

We are looking for a creative & entrepreneurial General Manager to join and lead our team in our stylish, food focused pub. As the successful General Manager, you will embrace the autonomy given to run your business and offer unique ideas to drive your team to success. You will have a genuine passion for exceptional customer service and a pro‑active approach to team management.

You will recruit & develop your team to ensure they have the knowledge needed to delight our customers. You will also be someone who is committed to their career in hospitality and we can offer ongoing development to support you as you grow and succeed with us.

Thanks for your interest in working with Youngs. If you’d like to be part of our team, then apply now!
