General Manager - Luxury Country Manor Hotel & Events Venue, Berkshire

Location:

Berkshire

Salary:
Up to £100,000 + bonus & benefits

We are seeking an exceptional General Manager to lead a prestigious luxury country manor hotel and events venue set in the heart of Berkshire.

While the property operates as a hotel, this is first and foremost an events-driven business, hosting a high volume of weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, and exclusive buy-outs. As such, we are particularly keen to speak with candidates from a luxury venue, events, or destination hospitality background, who thrive in commercially led, guest-facing environments.

As General Manager, you will have full operational and commercial responsibility for the property, leading from the front and setting the tone for excellence across all departments.

• Full P&L ownership, budgeting, forecasting, and commercial performance
• Leading and developing a multi-departmental senior management team
• Driving event sales, yield, and profitability across weddings, corporate, and private events
• Overseeing the end-to-end guest and client journey, from enquiry through to delivery
• Maintaining exceptional service standards in line with a luxury brand positioning
• Acting as the senior ambassador for the venue, building strong relationships with clients, suppliers, and stakeholders
• Ensuring compliance, health & safety, and operational best practice at all times

• You will be a confident, commercially astute leader with a proven track record in luxury hospitality and/or premium events-led venues.
• We are ideally looking for someone who has:
• Previous experience as a General Manager or Senior Operations Director
• Strong exposure to events-led businesses (wedding venues, destination venues, luxury event spaces, country estates, or similar)
• A hands-on, visible leadership style with high emotional intelligence
• Excellent commercial acumen and experience managing complex revenues
• A passion for delivering standout guest and client experiences
• The credibility and presence to lead a flagship property
