Restaurant general manager
Welcome to KFC. Home of the real ones.

We sell the world’s best chicken. We’ve done it for a long old time — since 1939, when the idea of
finger lickin’ good chicken popped into our Colonel’s head. Now, we proudly serve 1000+ communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride and iconic reputation that started in Kentucky all those years ago.

People who are original. Individual. Fresh. We come to work to be ourselves, and to make something of ourselves. We bring the graft and the laughs every day — building our own community, as we serve our original recipe chicken to the ones, we’re in.

In our place, ambition grows. Careers build. Potential goes further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere.

If you join our team, we only ask one thing. That you be you.

Because that makes us, us.

Sounds good? Great. Here’s more about the job.

About the role

Lead from the front, take full ownership of the restaurant, and smash performance goals while building a team that doesn’t just meet standards but exceeds them. Own the numbers, the vibe, and the experience, keeping everything running smoothly while creating a space where both guests and the team thrive.

What will you spend your time doing?

• Lead like you mean it. You’ll take full ownership of the restaurant — drive performance, hit goals, and set the vibe.
• Build a team worth following. Train, coach, and motivate your people so they don’t just meet the standard — they raise it.
• Smash the targets. Own your KPIs and push the team to deliver every shift, every day.
• Keep it tight. Stay on top of the admin — rosters, stock, reporting — so everything runs smooth behind the scenes.
• Make the guest experience unforgettable. Turn first-timers into regulars by creating moments that hit different.

What we’d love from you:

• You lead from the front. You’ve managed teams before and know how to bring the best out of people.
• You get people. You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and create a culture where everyone feels seen.
• You run a tight ship. You know how to keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant — even when it’s chaos.

Keeping it real

We don’t hire staff — we hire people. People with real lives and aspirations, building real careers. Each of us has something special to add to the mix we call work, and we’ll always encourage you to add your perspective.

See, at KFC, everyone’s welcome — whatever your background, and whatever future you’re creating. We’ll look out for you because you’re one of us, not because you work for us. We’ll invest in your potential, because it’s what we’ve always done. But most of all, we’ll give you the freedom to be you, wherever (and whoever) you happen to be.

What’s in it for you:
We offer benefits that make your life that little bit easier, because we know the juggle is real.

• Pay rate: £38,000 - £42,000
• Quarterly BONUS that rewards the hustle
• Extra holiday – more time to recharge
• Life assurance – we’ve got you covered
• Free chicken & chips every shift
• 25% staff discount
• Gym discounts to keep you moving
• 200+ high street perks & cashback
• Wellbeing support that actually helps

KFC for everyone:
Whoever you are and wherever you’re from, KFC is a place where you can bring the real
you to work. We’re here to support you in being yourself, whether you work with us, or are
trying to.

Our promise is this: every person who applies
to a role at KFC, regardless of age, background, ethnicity, gender, ability, religion or sexual orientation, will have an equal opportunity
to work here. We don’t just welcome, we encourage applications from underrepresented groups in all industries.

If you’d like any additional support with
your application, have a disability or condition that may affect your performance during the recruitment process, or have any other requirements — just let us know. We’ll be
there to help you be the real you.

Ready?
We hope so. If you’re ready to be part of our community, now’s the time to apply.

Worried you aren’t ticking all the boxes? Don’t - we’d still love to hear from you.

SR2 is supporting a leading consultancy as it looks to appoint a senior AI Consulting Partner to help lead and grow its AI proposition across the Public Sector.

This is a high-impact, market-facing Partner role for someone with a strong track record in UK public sector AI, combining credible delivery heritage with the ability to open doors, shape opportunities, and win strategic work. The need is not simply for AI capability in isolation, but for someone who brings broader, more compelling public-sector AI credentials, along with the network and senior presence to build market confidence early in the sales cycle.

The most commercially active areas for this role are expected to be responsible, agentic, and productionised AI, so this opportunity is particularly well-suited to someone who can speak credibly about AI governance, trust, operating model design, organisational adoption and the practical delivery of AI-enabled change in complex public bodies.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and grow AI propositions across Public Services, with a strong external focus on market credibility and revenue growth
• Build senior relationships across government and public bodies, opening doors early in the sales cycle and shaping strategic opportunities

• Use credible delivery experience to support bids, client conversations and proposition development in areas such as Responsible AI, Agentic Factories and Blueprints
• Provide high-level leadership on client assignments, with a focus on shaping, oversight and senior stakeholder engagement rather than hands-on delivery
• Work closely with internal leadership teams to strengthen market messaging, broaden public sector AI credentials and improve win rates
• Support the development of AI offerings that resonate with public sector buyers and reflect real delivery experience in complex environments
• Contribute to wider practice growth through relationship building, sales leadership and strategic account development

Skills & Experience

• Strong background in AI consulting within the UK public sector, with meaningful delivery experience for public bodies rather than purely private sector clients
• Track record of leading or playing a major role in real, production-level AI work, not just advisory pieces, proofs of concept or surface-level pilots
• Ability to talk credibly and concretely about what was delivered, the value created and the challenges of implementation in public sector settings
• Strong network across government, public bodies or arm’s-length organisations, with the credibility to generate senior conversations quickly
• Experience shaping and selling strategic AI work, particularly in areas such as governance, assurance, operating model, adoption and AI-enabled transformation
• Senior consulting profile, likely at Director level, ready to step up or already operating at Partner level in a boutique, specialist or mid-sized firm
• Commercially strong, with the ability to position value effectively in a market where clients expect substance, credibility and clear outcomes
• Excellent stakeholder management, leadership and proposition-building capability

Package & Benefits

• Salary of 150,000- 200,000, with flexibility for exceptional candidates
• Excellent bonus potential, with strong upside linked to revenue and leadership contribution
• Equity as part of the overall package
• Car allowance
• Private healthcare and wellbeing support
