Prospectus are delighted to be working with a prestigious heritage site based in Essex. They are looking for an experienced and dynamic General Manager to oversee all aspects of day-to-day operations of the site. This role offers an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic leader passionate about history, community engagement, and delivering memorable visitor experiences. As General Manager, you will be at the forefront of the site's mission to preserve and celebrate its legacy, while ensuring that visitors and the community feel connected to its unique historical significance.

Experience in successfully managing organisational change, including through the use of IT, will also be useful.
We are looking for a leader with a background in site, operations, or resource management, ideally in a historic or visitor-attraction setting. Your ability to engage with the local community and foster strong relationships will be essential, as will your dedication to creating a positive and inclusive team culture.
