Brand Homes Duty Manager - Bar & Events (Edinburgh Gin)

Our Story…

Born in 2010, and distilled in the heart of our namesake city, Edinburgh Gin has established itself as a pioneer in craft and wonder-filled flavour. We have been consistently rated on Tripadvisor as one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions through an offering of innovative and engaging experiences. Not one for resting on our laurels, in December 2024 we opened the doors of our brand-new, state-of-the-art distillery nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town at the Arches on East Market Street, where traditional craft meets innovation and we celebrate the art of gin-making amidst breath-taking views of Edinburgh’s skyline. This ongoing investment is a true testament to the pride we have in our product and our commitment to sharing this with our visitors, ensuring everyone who comes to see us has the most exceptional Edinburgh Gin experience.

As we continue on this next evolution of our Edinburgh Gin journey, fuelled by our passion for gin and dedication to excellence, we are now looking for kindred spirits to join us at this truly exciting time…

Our Opportunity…

As we have now opened the doors and are showcasing our brand-new Distillery to visitors from across the globe, we are now looking for a Brand Homes Duty Manager – Bar & Events to join our wonder-filled Edinburgh Gin team.

We are looking for authentic, engaging and charismatic individuals with a passion for hospitality and events to join us in this new role. As Duty Manager supporting our Bar & Events activities, you will oversee the day to day operation of our Bar, ensuring that the team of Distillery Ambassadors have everything they need to deliver an exceptional experience  through our busy bar service and commercial trade events.

Who We Are Looking For…

In order to be considered for this opportunity, we are looking for candidates who have previous experience in a similar role to ours and can clearly demonstrate they have exceptional customer service and people management skills. We are ideally looking for those with experience in the high-end hospitality sector and who are familiar with managing day to day bar operations and supporting with the operational planning and delivery of events on site.

We are looking for someone with a charismatic, warm and engaging personality, who is able to lead a successful team of individuals, establishing a warm and friendly culture. An effective communicator who can build strong relationships, and work together with the team to deliver a seamless service which will excite and delight our customers. We are looking for candidates who have an eye for detail and a drive for ongoing improvement!

We operate annualised hours, therefore previous experience of managing these operationally would be advantageous. Candidates must also have a true and authentic passion for our Edinburgh Gin brand.

Due to the nature of our operation, we are looking for candidates who have flexibility in their availability as this role will be offered on a flexible 5 from 7 day basis including regular late evenings weekends. Whilst the priority for this role is to cover the Bar and Events, the successful candidate will form part of the wider site duty management team, providing cover on a rotational basis - this will be discussed further at interview.
