Firebird is a lively open-fire restaurant and wine bar in the heart of Soho, close to Oxford Circus.

We’re currently seeking a talented and passionate General Manager to join our team. If you have experience in similar role and background in fine dining, we invite you to apply.

The restaurant draws inspiration from a simple Mediterranean cooking approach, serving seasonal food, cooked over fire alongside a dynamic selection of wines, including specialties from small producers across the continent.

An independent women-led business, working with just local and sustainable suppliers and fresh ingredients.

We are looking for a General Manager to lead our vibrant team:

• A skilled service pro, maintaining brand quality and loyalty
• A natural host, the face of the restaurant – constantly looking to create meaningful relationships with our guests and improve their dining experience
• Someone who has strong leadership & people management skills – ability to educate, train and inspire, developing team members to contribute to the overall success of the business, as well as supporting their own personal growth
• A multitask player – you’re as comfortable doing mise-en-place as you are working alongside the owners on ways to develop the business
• Someone who has strong knowledge and basis in all financial aspects of the business – understanding of budgets, cost controls, and forecasting
• Able to identify improvements and drive revenue

About successful candidate:

• 2+ years in GM role with previous proven career in independent restaurants
• Confident, approachable and with strong leadership skills
• Positive, proactive and team-oriented
• Professional and able to build genuine guest rapport

We are dedicated to providing a healthy workspace with a passionate and experienced team of individuals serving exceptional food matched with an exciting wine list and attentive service in a friendly and relaxed environment.
