General Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Charlotte, NC | Relocation Opportunities Available Throughout North Carolina & the East Coast

Are you the leader everyone turns to when things need to get done?

Do you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building high-performing teams, and want the opportunity to run a business—not just manage a department?

Wedgewood Weddings & Events is seeking experienced hospitality leaders to join us as General Managers. This is an opportunity to lead one of our wedding and event venues while developing your career with a company that continues to expand across the country.

Our General Managers are business leaders, culture builders, coaches, and problem-solvers. They oversee every aspect of the venue—from sales performance and guest experience to food & beverage operations, team development, facility management, and financial results.

With continued growth throughout North Carolina and the East Coast, this role offers long-term advancement opportunities for leaders who are interested in expanding their careers. While this position is based in Charlotte, future relocation opportunities may be available for those who are interested in exploring leadership roles in new markets.

What You'll Do

• Lead all aspects of venue operations, sales, food & beverage, facilities, and team development
• Own and manage the venue's financial performance, including revenue, profitability, and labor management
• Build, coach, and develop high-performing teams across sales, operations, culinary, and event staff
• Create a culture of accountability, hospitality, and teamwork
• Deliver exceptional experiences for clients, guests, and team members
• Recruit, interview, hire, and train future leaders
• Ensure operational excellence, facility upkeep, and adherence to company standards
• Partner with corporate leadership to drive business growth and continuous improvement
• Represent the company within the local community and maintain strong relationships with clients, vendors, and stakeholders

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of leadership experience in hospitality, events, food & beverage, hotels, restaurants, country clubs, entertainment venues, or similar service-focused industries
• Proven success leading teams and driving business results
• Strong coaching, communication, and people-development skills
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
• Commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences
• Strong organizational and time management skills
• Comfortable making decisions, solving problems, and holding teams accountable
• Bachelor's degree preferred, but not required
• Experience managing budgets, labor, sales goals, or P&L performance is highly preferred

We believe great leaders are developed through opportunity, ownership, and support. Our culture is built on promoting from within, empowering our teams, and creating careers—not just jobs.

Many of our Regional Managers, Multi-Unit Managers, and senior leaders began as General Managers.

Why Join Wedgewood?

• Competitive compensation with performance-based bonus opportunities
• 401(k) with company match
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Paid time off and holiday benefits
• Leadership development and career advancement opportunities
• The opportunity to lead your own business unit with real ownership and impact
• A growing company that promotes from within and invests in its leaders

Employee Ownership Program:

At Wedgewood, we believe the people driving our success should share in it. That's why our General and Regional Managers are invited to participate in our Employee Ownership Program – a meaningful compensation opportunity tied directly to the company's financial performance and growth.

As a GM, you won't just manage your venue, this program gives you a stake in the success of the overall business. If Wedgewood hits its long-term financial targets, you earn a significant payout on top of your standard bonus, putting you in the same seat as the investors backing this company's growth. Payouts are tied to tenure and other performance factors, and can range from 4-18+ months of salary for GMs.

This is more than a benefit. It's a chance to participate in the value you create as a General Manager and to see your leadership, decisions, and team's performance translate into real, financial upside. As the company opens new venues, and grows profitably, so does your reward. Wedgewood's Employee Ownership Program is designed to attract and retain top-tier operators who think like owners – because here, you are one.
