Job Description

ARCADE CLUB BURY  VENUE MANAGER


THIS IS NOT A JOB. THIS IS YOUR VENUE.


Arcade Club Bury is one of the UK’s most unique entertainment venues,  high-volume, high-energy, and constantly evolving.


We’re looking for a Venue Manager who thinks like an owner, leads from the front, and knows how to turn a busy operation into a high-performing business.


If you understand numbers as well as people, thrive in controlled chaos, and know what great hospitality looks like at scale, keep reading.


THE OPPORTUNITY


This is a rare chance to take full operational control of a flagship venue that blends entertainment, hospitality, and events.


You won’t just be managing shifts, you’ll be driving performance, building a team, and shaping the future of the site.


We need someone who can balance experience with efficiency, creativity with control, and energy with accountability.


WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR


  • Full ownership of P&L performance, including revenue growth and cost control


  • Leading and developing a large, multi-functional team


  • Delivering a consistently high-quality guest experience in a fast-paced, high-footfall environment


  • Managing operations across peak trading periods, weekends, and events


  • Driving KPIs, improving margins, and identifying new commercial opportunities


  • Ensuring standards, compliance, and operational discipline are always maintained


  • Creating a culture of accountability, energy, and performance



WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR


  • A natural operator with a business-owner mindset


  • Strong understanding of P&L, labour control, and financial performance


  • Proven experience in a high-volume hospitality or entertainment venue


  • Comfortable working in a busy, constantly shifting environment


  • A confident leader who can motivate, challenge, and develop teams


  • Commercially sharp,  you spot problems early and act fast


  • Hands-on, resilient, and not afraid to get stuck in when it matters



WHAT YOU’LL GET


  • Competitive salary + performance incentives


  • Real autonomy,  the chance to run the venue like it’s your own


  • Staff perks across food, drink, and entertainment


  • A high-energy environment where your impact is visible every day



WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT


We’re looking for someone who will take ownership, challenge how things are done, and push the venue forward.


If you’re the type of manager who watches the numbers, leads from the floor, and builds strong teams, you’ll thrive here.
