Assistant General Manager - New Opening in London

Assistant General Manager

Few hospitality roles offer the chance to create something from the very beginning. Join us as Assistant General Manager of Bartholomew’s at London Museum, one of London's most significant cultural openings. Opening on 28 November in historic Smithfield, the museum will bring together thousands of years of London's history through world-class experiences and hospitality.

We're looking for someone who loves bringing places to life. Someone who remembers familiar faces, names and favourite cocktails, and believes great hospitality makes every guest feel they belong.

This is an opportunity to help shape Bartholomew’s from day one, creating a destination where colleagues unwind, museum visitors linger over cocktails and neighbours gather long into the evening.

Bartholomew’s is a contemporary London bar inspired by the city's energy, named after the historic Bartholomew Fair, held in Smithfield for over seven centuries.

An evolving cocktail menu curated by industry pioneer Mr Lyan Studio will draw inspiration from London Museum's seasonal events and displays. The first menu celebrates London Tastes, exploring the city's vibrant food culture, while the permanent London Made collection takes inspiration from London's past and present. A seasonal shandy and draught London Museum lager complete the offering.

Prominently located on Farringdon Road, Bartholomew’s will be a lively yet approachable destination for after-work drinks and museum visits, serving elevated pub classics and snacks.

We're looking for a hands-on leader combining genuine hospitality with commercial instincts, equally comfortable leading a busy service, developing a team and identifying opportunities to grow the business.

At Green & Fortune, we take pride in the connections we make through the moments and memories we create.
