Description
ARE YOU SPORTS MAD? DO YOU THRIVE IN A HIGH-ENERGY VENUE?
We’re looking for an ambitious, experienced and seriously passionate Deputy General Manager to join the team at Bat & Ball Covent Garden.
This is not your typical bar management role. Bat & Ball is a high-energy competitive socialising venue where sport, great hospitality, entertainment and unforgettable experiences come together.
We need a manager who can thrive in a fast-paced, high-capacity environment, lead from the front and help us deliver exceptional experiences for our guests — whether they’re here for the big game, competitive socialising, drinks with friends or a night of sport-fuelled fun.
THE ROLE
As Manager, you’ll be a key part of the leadership team, working closely with the General Manager to drive the venue forward.
You’ll take ownership of day-to-day operations, lead and develop a large team, maintain exceptional service standards and make sure every shift runs like clockwork — even when the venue is absolutely flying.
You’ll be commercially minded, operationally strong and, most importantly, a natural leader who loves being around people and sport.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You’ll have:
- 3+ years’ management experience within a high-capacity competitive socialising venue, sports bar, late-night venue or similarly fast-paced hospitality environment.
- Proven experience managing large teams and high-volume operations.
- A genuine passion for sport — you should be the person who knows what’s happening across the sporting calendar and gets excited about the big fixtures.
- Strong leadership skills and the ability to motivate, coach and develop a diverse team.
- Excellent commercial awareness, with experience driving sales, controlling costs and delivering against KPIs.
- The confidence to take charge during busy services and make decisions under pressure.
- A hands-on approach — you’re not afraid to get stuck in wherever you’re needed.
- A passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences.
- Energy, personality and the ability to bring people with you.
WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
- Supporting the General Manager in the overall running of the venue.
- Leading from the front during busy services and major sporting events.
- Managing, coaching and developing the management and wider venue team.
- Driving sales, profitability and commercial performance.
- Maintaining outstanding standards across service, operations, health & safety and guest experience.
- Helping create an atmosphere that keeps guests coming back.
- Planning and executing major sporting events and peak trading periods.
- Managing rotas, labour and operational costs effectively.
- Building a strong team culture where people are motivated to perform.
- Acting as the senior leader on shift when required.
WHY BAT & BALL?
Because we don't just put sport on a screen — we make it an experience.
If you love the buzz of a packed venue, thrive when the big games are on, know how to lead a team and want to be part of a venue where competitive socialising meets serious hospitality, this could be your next move.
The package:
? Up to £50,000 per year
? Bonus scheme
? A high-energy, sport-focused working environment
? The opportunity to develop and progress within a growing hospitality business
