"Great Seafood and Good Times

We are a family-owned seafood specialist, sourcing premium sustainable seafood for over 20 years. Our story began with our co-founders Ben and Robin becoming oyster merchants. This has developed into the UK’s leading seafood supplier, Wright Brothers wholesale, supplying over 500 restaurants across the UK. Most recently we have launched our online fishmonger, Wright Brothers at Home, supplying that same quality seafood direct to your door nationwide. We are proud to have three London restaurants of our own located in the iconic neighbourhoods of Battersea Power Station, Borough Market and South Kensington.

Battersea Power Station is our largest restaurant and we are looking for an experienced Assistant General Manager, to work closely with the GM to manage the restaurant operationally whilst being a positive role model to lead our passionate restaurant team in delivering the best seafood experience to our guests. 

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

  • All things people – lead, inspire and support your team to deliver memorable experience for all our guests.
  • Work with the GM to manage all aspects of the people function in relation to recruitment, training, development, and performance.
  • Encourage a culture of continual learning - as a team we are always developing our knowledge to provide our guests with the ultimate experience, this can range from seasonal changes, the history of our ports and day boats or even the viniculture and provenance behind our drinks menus.
  • Drive sales, control costs and have joint accountability for the financial performance of the site.
  • Maintain high standards of compliance, follow all reporting and operational procedures.

WHO YOU WILL BE:

  • A natural leader – encourage positivity, think inclusively, and nurture a culture of teamwork and respect. 
  • Financially astute and commercially driven - experienced in managing budgets, P+L and overall financial performance.
  • Be forward thinking, adopt a proactive mindset with an ability to forecast and plan ahead. 
  • We believe people perform at their best when they have autonomy and are empowered to make their own decisions. Whilst you will be working under the guidance of your GM, you will have a high level of independance in your day to day role. A proven track record of planning and successfully executing operational and people projects is therefore important. 
  • We consider our AGM as 'GM's in waiting' so the perfect candidate will ideally have prior experience in a AGM role, or 4 - 5 years experience in an Assistant Manager role within a high volume, premium casual environment. The role has potential for long term growth so if you are looking to develop your career this could be the perfect role for you. 
  • A seafood lover and an oyster enthusiast! Whilst we provide training, a keen interest in seafood and sustainability would be highly desirable. 

In a nutshell we are – welcoming, positive, hardworking, caring, passionate – if this is you too, we’d love to have you on board.

BENEFITS

  • Staff meals on shift and unlimited coffee.
  • Discounted food and drinks when dining in any of our restaurants.
  • Hastee pay – wage advances for when life gets in the way.
  • Opportunities to develop yourself with personal qualifications such as WSET 1,2,3.  
  • Refer a friend bonus scheme
  • Supplier trips
  • Discounted wine 
  • A party or two…
