Flat Iron Square London Bridge 19 screens. 16 beers on tap. 780-capacity events. London's premier sports and social destination. There's nowhere quite like Flat Iron Square. Built under the railway arches at the heart of London Bridge, it's London's iconic live sports and entertainment destination, and it's built for big moments. Nineteen screens. Sixteen beers on tap. Street food curated by Michelin-starred chefs: Opa - Greek souvlaki, Flock - buttermilk fried chicken, Dough - Neapolitan pizza. A Taproom. A beer garden with heaters for year round trading. Private hire for up to 420 guests. "Speed Quizzing", Oktoberfest, Six Nations, the FIFA World Cup, seasonal takeovers, and weekly DJs. This is hospitality at scale, done with character. Reimagined for 2025 with an upgraded garden, a refreshed food kiosk lineup, and a bigger events programme than ever, Flat Iron Square is at an exciting point in its story, and we need a General Manager ready to own it. This isn't a role for someone who wants a quiet life. It's a role for a high calibre operator who thrives under the lights, loves the energy of sport and entertainment, and knows how to turn big trading moments into standout guest experiences and serious commercial results. The Role You'll take full ownership of Flat Iron Square with a focus on performance, people, guest experience, and commercial delivery across wet led trade, five independent food traders, a full events calendar, and private hire up to exclusive whole venue takeovers. This is a high visibility, hands on role with real scale and real accountability. You'll lead from the front and set the standard that every shift is measured against. In Your First 12 Months, You'll Deliver Revenue Ahead of Plan Drive revenue across 16 taps, a full cocktail and wine programme, five food traders, private hire, and every major sporting and cultural moment the venue trades around by leading your team to upsell with confidence at every opportunity. Build and execute detailed trading plans for peak occasions including the 2026 World Cup, Oktoberfest, and seasonal takeovers by squeezing every pound of potential from each. Know your numbers in real time - wet vs food mix, hourly revenue, event performance, and act within the same trading period, not the next morning. Work closely with the central marketing and events teams to develop and deliver corporate packages, brand partnerships, premium group sports experiences, and bespoke seasonal activations. Build EBITDA Discipline Own the full site P&L and deliver EBITDA at or above target, every month, every quarter, without exception by deploying labour intelligently, a strong GP management by controlling waste and disciplined stock processes. Hold all five food operators commercially accountable: footfall conversion, quality consistency, and their contribution to the overall guest experience and margin. Manage operating expenditure with the same discipline you apply to revenue - every cost is a conscious decision, not a default. Produce insightful weekly and monthly P&L commentary; know the story behind every line before anyone asks. Create A Standout Guest Experience Set and hold the guest experience standard across every space including the Taproom, bars, beer garden, courtyard, and food trader areas, without exception to ensure Flat Iron Square crackles with energy on a match day and feels genuinely welcoming on quieter afternoons and where the atmosphere is part of the product. Make major event days feel effortless to the guest with flawless logistics, an energised team, every screen live, and every detail right by building pre service rituals and operational checklists that make brilliant experiences repeatable, not accidental.

Flat Iron Square London Bridge 19 screens. 16 beers on tap. 780-capacity events. London's premier sports and social destination. There's nowhere quite like Flat Iron Square. Built under the railway arches at the heart of London Bridge, it's London's iconic live sports and entertainment destination, and it's built for big moments. Nineteen screens. Sixteen beers on tap. Street food curated by Michelin-starred chefs: Opa - Greek souvlaki, Flock - buttermilk fried chicken, Dough - Neapolitan pizza. A Taproom. A beer garden with heaters for year round trading. Private hire for up to 420 guests. "Speed Quizzing", Oktoberfest, Six Nations, the FIFA World Cup, seasonal takeovers, and weekly DJs. This is hospitality at scale, done with character. Reimagined for 2025 with an upgraded garden, a refreshed food kiosk lineup, and a bigger events programme than ever, Flat Iron Square is at an exciting point in its story, and we need a General Manager ready to own it. This isn't a role for someone who wants a quiet life. It's a role for a high calibre operator who thrives under the lights, loves the energy of sport and entertainment, and knows how to turn big trading moments into standout guest experiences and serious commercial results. The Role You'll take full ownership of Flat Iron Square with a focus on performance, people, guest experience, and commercial delivery across wet led trade, five independent food traders, a full events calendar, and private hire up to exclusive whole venue takeovers. This is a high visibility, hands on role with real scale and real accountability. You'll lead from the front and set the standard that every shift is measured against. In Your First 12 Months, You'll Deliver Revenue Ahead of Plan Drive revenue across 16 taps, a full cocktail and wine programme, five food traders, private hire, and every major sporting and cultural moment the venue trades around by leading your team to upsell with confidence at every opportunity. Build and execute detailed trading plans for peak occasions including the 2026 World Cup, Oktoberfest, and seasonal takeovers by squeezing every pound of potential from each. Know your numbers in real time - wet vs food mix, hourly revenue, event performance, and act within the same trading period, not the next morning. Work closely with the central marketing and events teams to develop and deliver corporate packages, brand partnerships, premium group sports experiences, and bespoke seasonal activations. Build EBITDA Discipline Own the full site P&L and deliver EBITDA at or above target, every month, every quarter, without exception by deploying labour intelligently, a strong GP management by controlling waste and disciplined stock processes. Hold all five food operators commercially accountable: footfall conversion, quality consistency, and their contribution to the overall guest experience and margin. Manage operating expenditure with the same discipline you apply to revenue - every cost is a conscious decision, not a default. Produce insightful weekly and monthly P&L commentary; know the story behind every line before anyone asks. Create A Standout Guest Experience Set and hold the guest experience standard across every space including the Taproom, bars, beer garden, courtyard, and food trader areas, without exception to ensure Flat Iron Square crackles with energy on a match day and feels genuinely welcoming on quieter afternoons and where the atmosphere is part of the product.
