About the role
On behalf of our client, a well-established hospitality group, we are looking for a General Manager/Operating Partner to join their team in the Annapolis Valley.
About The Client: Our client is a successful hospitality group with multiple restaurant operations across Atlantic Canada. They are passionate about creating exceptional guest experiences, building strong teams, and developing leaders who think like business owners. Backed by proven systems and an experienced leadership team, they offer an environment where initiative, accountability, and fresh ideas are encouraged and rewarded.

Requirements The Ideal Candidate: You're a people-first leader who knows how to motivate a team, build relationships, and create an environment where both employees and guests want to return. While hospitality experience is certainly valuable, we're equally interested in leaders from retail, sales, customer service, business development, or other service-focused industries. What matters most is your ability to lead people, drive results, and take ownership of a business as if it were your own. You bring energy, accountability, and a genuine desire to be part of the community you serve.

Benefits ●Base salary of approximately $65,000 annually ●Profit-sharing opportunity tied to business performance ●Long-term ownership participation opportunity for the right candidate ●Flexible management environment focused on results rather than micromanagement ●Opportunity to lead and grow an established business with strong operational support ●Vacation package ●Future health and benefits program anticipated ●Full-time leadership position with flexibility based on business needs ●Location: Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia
