The Role

We're opening in Liverpool and we're looking for a General Manager to lead it from the ground up.

This won't be one store among many. For now, this is Blank Street in your city. A single, high-volume flagship location which will be the highest expression of our brand.

You'll build the team, launch the store, and own the full experience. You're the person who represents Blank Street in your city.

Who You Are

We're looking for someone who is equal parts hospitality-first operator and entrepreneur.

As a hospitality-first operator, you hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone would ask of you, and coach the team in the same way. You obsess over the details, thrive in high-volume environments, are passionate about our products and, above all, care about delivering genuine moments of connection.

As an entrepreneur, you love building from scratch: hiring a team, setting a culture, opening the doors, and figuring out how to raise the bar from there. We're still building Blank Street as we go, and we look for people who are excited to build it with us.
