Assistant Manager

Company Description

At Greene King, leaders at every level play a critical role in driving our success — and Gateway is central to that ambition.
Gateway is a key part of our operating model, bringing together our Area Managers and Pub Leadership Teams to deliver strong, consistent performance across our pubs. It is designed to support collaboration, strengthen leadership, and drive meaningful change at a local level. Through Gateway, teams are empowered to take ownership, adapt to evolving customer needs, and maximise the potential of each pub.

Job Description

As part of a secondment, you will receive a £400 additional responsibility payment per period, giving you the opportunity to gain new experiences and develop your skills in different roles or areas of the business. Where secondments are agreed, you will retain your substantive role, providing the reassurance of a position to return to.

Opportunities for development
We are committed to developing talent across Greene King and actively welcome applications from individuals looking to take the next step in their career. Whether you are seeking a promotion or broader leadership experience, Gateway provides a platform to grow, stretch your capabilities, and progress within the business.

Reward package
We offer a competitive and rewarding package that recognises the contribution of our leaders. This includes both financial rewards including a £500 handover bonus if you remain in pub and an on target bonus of £2000 with broader benefits designed to support wellbeing, development, and long-term career success.
