UKC

Contract length: 9 Months

Application Deadline: 01/12/2021

Job Type: Full-time, Temporary

Salary: £34,000.00-£36,000.00 per year

We are looking for a remarkable individual to take over the reigns at our existing Swansea site on 9 month maternity cover contract.

We are open every day growing our vibrant community with great climbing, great experiences and fantastic locally sourced food and drinks in a spacious, energised and super friendly environment.

If you love the idea of creating a welcoming, fun and progressive community by delivering an exceptional product, great service, a super psyched team and having heaps of fun, we would love to chat!

The position of General Manager is not for the faint hearted. You will be commercially astute, customer-focused, and full of ideas to evolve the site, obsessive about nurturing the right culture and dedicated to creating a sustainable and socially minded business.

The UK climbing market is growing rapidly, almost entirely driven by bouldering. With no clear market leader, our plans for the business put us in a great position to take up that position and our General Managers are absolutely key to our success.

Who is our perfect person?

• Our vision is to inspire happier, healthier more connected people – so you will be responsible for ensuring the Hangar has a positive impact on people’s lives and driving our commercial success by helping both crew and customers feel great.
• Hangar General Managers have a natural gift for hospitality and inspirational leadership demonstrated through passion, leading by example and their commitment to building happy, thoughtful and engaged teams.
• General managers are masters of many trades with a tireless focus on small details. You already understand why incredible coffee and cake are as important as delivering incredible climbing.
• Faultless service and immaculate facilities are your baseline expectations, and little gives you more joy than seeing your team and customers grow and succeed under your guidance.
• A calm and systematic individual with experience of managing costs, maximising revenues and a test and learn approach to innovation.
• You believe deeply in the positive power of diversity and inclusion as well as physical activity in transforming lives
