Join Our Leadership Team as Assistant General Manager at NIJŪ, Mayfair

Are you a detail-driven, people-focused leader who thrives in a refined, high-expectation environment? At NIJŪ, where Japanese Katei Ryori meets the elegance of Mayfair, we are looking for an Assistant General Manager to support our General Manager, Paola, in guiding and elevating our exceptional team.

Position Available: Assistant General Manager
Location: NIJŪ – Berkeley Street, Mayfair

NIJŪ celebrates the warmth and soul of Japanese home-style cooking, brought to life under the vision of Executive Chef Chris Golding and Culinary Director Endo Kazutoshi, a third-generation sushi master. Our restaurant blends tradition with modernity, offering a serene and thoughtful dining experience that reflects our commitment to quality, precision, and heartfelt hospitality.

As our Assistant General Manager, you will be a key pillar of leadership on the floor — supporting Paola in running daily operations smoothly and upholding the highest standards of service, presentation, and consistency.

You’ll help cultivate an environment where every detail matters: the ambiance, the flow of service, the energy of the team, and the warmth shared with every guest. Your passion for hospitality, love for people, and natural ability to connect will be fundamental to our culture.

This role is ideal for someone who understands the elevated expectations of Mayfair dining, brings confidence and calm under pressure, and leads with humanity, integrity, and a deep respect for the craft.

A People’s Person at Heart
You build trust easily, communicate with warmth, and inspire others through presence and empathy.

High Standards & Strong Discipline
You take pride in immaculate details — from service standards to floor operations — and can maintain consistency even at pace.

Fine Dining Awareness
You understand the rhythm, finesse, and expectations of a luxury Mayfair restaurant and can help shape a guest journey that feels thoughtful and seamless.

Supportive Leadership
You work closely with Paola to mentor, motivate, and elevate the team, fostering a culture of respect, collaboration, and joy.

Operational Excellence
You’re organised, proactive, and able to anticipate needs before they arise, ensuring smooth service and flawless guest experiences.

Confidence & Composure
Whether solving challenges or hosting VIP guests, you bring calm, clarity, and professionalism to every moment.

Experience
Previous experience as an Assistant General Manager or Senior Restaurant Manager within a high-end hospitality environment is strongly preferred.
