Assistant General Manager (Bar & Studio)

About the Role
Step inside and the city falls away. You enter a house of rooms unlike any other part gallery, part salon, part bar. Heritage is the fabric of every space: from the long communal table in the main hall to intimate chambers that echo the mansion's layered past. Each room tells its own story of tea and textiles, journeys and remedies, yet together they weave one society. Behind this house of spirits, seasonal ingredients meet global traditions, crafted into vessels by skilled ceramicists. Guests move from chamber to chamber, discovering shifting moods of conversation, music, and ritual. This is a place to drink well, but also to belong - where every visit feels connected to the past yet alive in the present, evolving with each season and collaboration.

Every gathering is a weave of moments, places, and people.

At the heart of this house of hospitality, every detail - from service flow to guest experience - is carefully orchestrated to create something seamless and memorable.

As an Assistant General Manager, you are a key driver behind this rhythm, supporting the General Manager of the Bar & Studio in overseeing daily operations while ensuring excellence across service, team performance, and overall ambiance. You lead with both presence and purpose - guiding the team, anticipating needs, and upholding the highest standards at every touchpoint. Balancing operational oversight with a strong focus on people, you play an integral role in shaping a positive culture, strengthening guest relationships, and ensuring the venue continues to evolve with consistency and care.

This role is suited for those who are hands-on, commercially aware, and confident in leading from the floor and bringing together team, service, and experience into one cohesive whole.

This position as an Assistant General Manager will report to General Manager (Bar).
