We’re looking for a commercially driven General Manager to lead the dual-branded Hyatt Place and Hyatt House in the heart of Leeds. This is a high-profile, high-volume city centre operation, comprising over 300 keys across two distinct brands. Hyatt Place delivers a contemporary, select-service hotel experience, while Hyatt House offers extended-stay accommodation with a more residential feel. In addition, we also have Azotea – our stunning Latin American inspired rooftop restaurant. This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced leader who knows how to run a busy branded hotel, influence performance at pace, and continue evolving their own leadership at a pivotal stage in their career. What you’ll be doing With Azotea operating as part of the wider site and led by its own Restaurant General Manager, your role will predominantly focus on owning the hotel’s performance – driving revenue, profitability and market share in a competitive city centre environment. You’ll lead and inspire your HOD team, creating clarity around priorities, holding teams accountable, and ensuring the hotel delivers consistently against brand and guest expectations. Working closely with the wider Aimbridge support team, you’ll translate strategy into action and identify opportunities to maximise performance across the business. You’ll build a strong partnership with the Azotea Restaurant GM, ensuring alignment between hotel and restaurant operations while maintaining clear accountability for each area. You’ll also play a key role in stakeholder management, working closely with owners and central support teams to deliver against financial targets and long-term plans. What we’re looking for You’ll likely be an experienced General Manager with a background in large, branded select-service or focused-service hotels. You’ll bring a strong commercial mindset, with a deep understanding of how to drive rooms‑led performance in a city centre environment. You’ll be comfortable operating at pace, managing complexity, and making confident decisions that balance guest experience with commercial outcomes. You’ll have experience leading senior teams, influencing performance, and creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. Most importantly, you’ll be someone who is established in your career, with experience and credibility, but still hungry to grow, develop and push performance further. Why join us This is a chance to lead a flagship dual‑branded property in one of the UK’s most dynamic cities. You’ll have the autonomy to shape performance, the support of a wider commercial and operational infrastructure, and the opportunity to continue developing your career within a growing international business. At Aimbridge, we recognise that people are the heart of our business. As a global leader, we are committed to representing our global community and offering everyone ‘A Place to Grow’. #J-18808-Ljbffr
