General Manager - Manchester

General Manager - Central Manchester

We are currently recruiting for our location in Central Manchester

At Veeno we love to have nothing more than having enthusiastic and engaging General Managers, leading our teams to the finest of results from Guest Experience to financials!

Could that person be you! If you think ‘YES!’ then please read on!

Our managers are people who love to look after our guests. Those people who love seeing other people happy. Making guests feel completely at home and that nothing is too much effort. Managers who love to go the extra mile with their guests and teams to ensure they have the best site possible.

We have a superb range of wines from our own vineyard in Sicily (Yes, really! Our own Vineyard!), and to go alongside our amazing selection of wines we have some of the finest Italian Spuntini (little Italian plates – made up of cured meats, cheeses and other favourable Italian treats – lets not even mention the boards we do!).

We also host fantastic wine tastings for guests and groups, where we love to give people a real taste of Sicily – a varied selection of wines for them to try, hosted by a trained barista or manager to give them the best experience imaginable, all led by the great personalities that represent each Veeno.

We are a growing company, so career progression is available if that is something that you’re wanting! We have so many opportunities and love nothing more than to develop our teams internally.

No day is ever the same at Veeno. That is something that we can guarantee!
