Assistant General Manager - in Greece – Full Season (May ‘23 to October ‘23)

The Peligoni Club is a family-run beach club in Greece. It’s a members-only retreat for a fun-loving bohemian crowd who want delicious food, creative cocktails, friendly staff and sumptuous settings, but without all the fuss that usually comes with high-end hotels.

With so many moving parts, this is a huge operation and we are looking for someone to support our General Manager this summer with the day to day running of the club. This is a hands-on role which will involve a large amount of problem solving and getting stuck in wherever is needed; you will be guest facing and the first point of call for any issues, complaints and emergencies.

Small and personal with a focus on quality over quantity, the club moulds itself around our guests and their idea of the perfect holiday. For some that might be an action packed week of watersports, yoga and tennis and for others that might be a series of long lazy lunches, time in the sun and being able to really let their hair down whilst our childcare team look after the little ones; whatever they feel like, we’ve got it covered.

We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated and confident all-rounder with an impeccable attention to detail who can ensure a consistently high level of service throughout the club. They must have a commitment to the club’s ethos and the ability to manage and motivate a large team with varied experience and responsibilities in what can often be a high-pressure environment.

This is a challenging role with a wide range of responsibilities and the chance to be a part of making key operational decisions. It can be extremely rewarding for someone who thrives on this and comes with scope for more long-term opportunities.
