When you watch Jurassic Park, does the characters’ lack of organization and planning for contingencies exasperate you? Do you have the leadership skills and calm unflappable demeanor of a grade school teacher? If you see a bus full of cats, ducks, and craft beer drinkers do you feel the urge to take the wheel?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, this job may be for you. Our pubs are arguably the beating heart of Fort George Brewery, and for every customer who leaves with a belly full and heart lightened, our community and the equity of our brand grows. The Pubs are the places we come home to, and the Pubs GM is their caretaker.

To be considered for this role you should have significant experience leading teams, managing a high-volume hospitality establishment, crafting world-class customer experiences, and building maintainable systems. You’re a people leader, a team builder, a systems creator, a self-starter, and an expert communicator.

This position’s schedule is usually 40-50h per week, somewhat fluid across nights, weekends, holidays, and other times of peak pub sales volumes, and almost always enjoys two consecutive days off. This position reports directly to the Senior Vice Presidents, and oversees all pub employee supervision.
