Aimbridge

Lead the Way at One of the South Coast's Most Vibrant Hotels We're looking for a commercially minded General Manager to lead Holiday Inn Bournemouth through the seasonal highs and lows of a vibrant coastal destination. This is a role for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment-balancing the energy of family driven summer peaks with the challenge of driving productivity during quieter winter months. You'll need to be a visible presence during the busy summer season, when the hotel is bustling with families and corporate bookings and equally effective in the winter months by driving efficiency and maintaining team engagement. What You'll Be Doing As General Manager, you'll take full ownership of the hotel's performance, combining strategic planning with hands on leadership when it matters most. You'll work closely with Aimbridge on rate management and revenue strategies, so experience in pricing, forecasting, and driving profitability is essential. Operational excellence will be at the heart of what you do, overseeing everything from rate setting to housekeeping, which is managed in house. Staffing accuracy and effective planning will be critical, particularly when it comes to seasonal fluctuations, so you'll need to be proactive in developing flexible resourcing plans that keep service standards high year round. While rooms will be your primary focus, you'll also understand the role of food and beverage in delivering a great guest experience. In a tight labour market, you'll work with what you have-sharing knowledge, upskilling your team, and bringing people on the journey with you. Strong leadership behaviours are key; you'll know when to be hands on and when to lead from the front, driving the team with clear direction and building a culture of accountability and collaboration. What We're Looking For We're seeking someone with proven experience as a General Manager or in a senior leadership role within a branded hotel environment. IHG experience would be a real advantage, but any strong branded background will be considered. You'll bring commercial acumen, operational expertise, and exceptional people management skills, with the ability to lead through change and motivate teams. Knowledge of rooms operations and housekeeping management is essential, and you'll need to demonstrate how you've successfully managed a team through challenging periods. What We Can Offer You A competitive salary and performance based bonus scheme. Discounts across IHG hotels worldwide for you, your friends, and family. Access to industry leading training and development programs to support your career growth. A supportive and collaborative environment where your ideas and leadership make a real impact. Opportunities for progression within one of the world's most recognised hotel brands and management companies. Why Join Us? At Holiday Inn Bournemouth, you'll have the autonomy to make an impact and the support of a global brand behind you. This is your chance to lead a property in one of the UK's most popular coastal destinations-where no two days are the same. Ready to take the next step?
