General Manager - Football Centre

Do you have a passion for football and sport? Our client is top of the league when it comes to 5-a-side with 43 football centres throughout the UK. Not all 5-a-side pitches are created equal, which is why they have all-weather 5-a-side arenas just like Europe's top clubs!

The Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for a self-motivated General Manager at our client's 5-a-side complex in Wembley. The General Manager is a hands-on role, and you will have full control of the sales and operation of the site as well as managing, training, and developing the team.

General Managers must be sales-focused and will be responsible for achieving maximum capacity whether through repeat customers, marketing, or enticing corporate businesses to join a league. The position entails working flexible hours to provide management cover at all times with shifts.

The Candidate

The ideal candidate will have the following:

1. Experience working towards financial KPI's - the centres are based on financial performance, the number of league games, the number of standard games, children's parties, bar takings, and the % of games played.
2. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills - you will need to build a good rapport with customers, team captains, local schools, and football coaches.
3. Organisation and management skills - you will be responsible for a range of internal staff from reception to referees, as well as working towards sales targets.

If you are currently the general manager of a multi-function leisure environment such as a bar, restaurant, nightclub, hotel, bowling alley, cinema, pub, bistro, gym, leisure centre, or sports club - this could be the role for you.
