General Manager for The Dictionary Hostel, Shoreditch
Permanent position. £25 000 to £32 000 per year.
Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has opened up at The Dictionary Hostel for a General Manager to join our young and dynamic team and help us streamline the running of, not only our hostel in Shoreditch, but also to help lay the foundations for the general growth and expansion of the business.
In this position, you will have the opportunity to be involved in every aspect of the business and have the responsibility to make key decisions.
You will play a key role in shaping our processes and structures as well as determining who the team is working under you. In this role you would have full operational control so it is important that you are able to plan, strategise and manage your own role effectively.
You will need to create and execute an operational strategy. This will streamline our processes and drive down waste and costs. You will hire, train and grow your own team. Through both operational excellence as well as the excellence of the team beneath you, you will ensure our guests leave satisfied and happy, having had the best they can from us.
About you
You will be driven and passionate about everything you do and have plenty of energy. Because of these qualities you would be eager to be autonomous in your role and wanting to determine your own workday and targets.
You are analytical and detail oriented which will help you to track your success and keep high standards and because of your natural authority, you are also able to demand these high standards from your team.
Thanks to your excellent organisational skills and vision, you are adept at creating, structuring and delegating tasks.
You enjoy responsibility and, as you would essentially be running the business as a whole (alongside the sales and revenue manager and owners of the business), you are not afraid to take on the tasks that are not only demanded of you but to also go above and beyond that.
You also love the travel industry and like being part of the social, young, fun world of hostels.
