Location: Initial training based in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, with a permanent General Manager position in Hertfordshire or Cambridge.

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience + performance-related bonus

An exciting opportunity to join a growing hospitality group

Innventure Ltd is looking for an experienced, ambitious and commercially minded Designate General Manager to join our management team.

With two potential General Manager opportunities anticipated within the next three months, we're taking a proactive approach to recruitment. Rather than waiting until a vacancy arises, we want to find the right person now, giving them the time, support and training to really understand our business before taking the reins at their own venue.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced hospitality leader who wants to join a supportive, hands-on hospitality group and make a genuine impact.

The Role

Your journey with Innventure will begin at The Broadway Hotel in Letchworth Garden City, one of our flagship venues and home to our Head Office.

The Broadway offers a diverse hospitality operation, including a busy restaurant, hotel accommodation, private functions, weddings and large-scale events. This makes it the ideal training ground to gain a thorough understanding of the different aspects of our business.

Working alongside the General Manager at The Broadway, you'll gain practical experience of our operational standards, systems, financial controls and management processes.

You'll also have the opportunity to work closely with our Senior Operations Team, who are based at The Broadway, allowing you to build strong working relationships and receive direct support throughout your induction and probationary period.

Once your training is complete and the right opportunity becomes available, you'll transition into a permanent General Manager position at one of our venues in Hertfordshire or Cambridge, taking full responsibility for the operation and performance of your own business.

What You'll Be Doing

During your initial training period, you'll be involved in all aspects of running a successful hospitality business, including:

• Commercial Performance: Understanding P&L management, budgeting, sales forecasting, gross profit and labour control.
• People Management: Recruitment, training, team development, performance management and building a positive team culture.
• Operational Excellence: Maintaining high standards across food, beverage, accommodation, events and guest experience.
• Business Development: Identifying opportunities to grow sales through local marketing, events and community engagement.
• Compliance: Understanding our health and safety, food safety and operational compliance procedures.
• Systems & Reporting: Becoming confident with our company systems, reporting processes and performance expectations.

Once appointed to your permanent venue, you'll have the autonomy to lead your own team, drive commercial performance and develop your business, with the continued support of our Operations Team.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is passionate about hospitality, confident in their leadership abilities and ready to take ownership of a business.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous experience as a General Manager or an experienced Deputy General Manager ready to take the next step.
• A strong understanding of hospitality financials, including P&L, labour management and GP.
• Excellent people management skills, with the ability to motivate, develop and retain a successful team.
• A genuine passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences.
• A proactive, hands-on approach and the ability to lead by example.
• Strong organisational skills and the confidence to manage a busy, multifaceted operation.
• Flexibility to undertake their initial training in Letchworth before moving into a permanent position in Hertfordshire or Cambridge.

Experience in food-led pubs, restaurants or hotels would be particularly advantageous.

Why Join Innventure?

At Innventure, we believe in giving our General Managers the freedom to run their businesses while providing the structure, resources and support of an established hospitality group.

We pride ourselves on operating individual venues with their own identities, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

By joining us as a Designate General Manager, you'll benefit from:

• A comprehensive induction and training programme before taking responsibility for your own venue.
• Direct access to our Senior Operations Team, with ongoing guidance and support.
• A varied and engaging training environment covering restaurants, hotels, weddings and events.
• Genuine opportunities for career development within a multi-site hospitality business.
• A performance-related bonus scheme rewarding strong commercial and operational results.
• The opportunity to make a real difference to the business you lead.

Ready for Your Next Challenge?

Whether you're an established General Manager looking for a fresh opportunity or an ambitious Deputy General Manager ready to take the next step, we'd love to hear from you.

We're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career with Innventure, not simply fill a vacancy.

Apply today and take the first step towards running your own Innventure venue.

Please note: This position will initially be based at The Broadway Hotel in Letchworth Garden City for training and induction. The successful candidate must be willing to take up a permanent General Manager position in either Hertfordshire or Cambridge, depending on business requirements.
