General Manager

MAKE HISTORY AT THE FOUNDRY

The Foundry Belfast isn’t just another hotel—it’s an experience. Nestled in the iconic Cathedral Quarter, on the former site of the legendary Harp Bar, The Foundry reimagines the spirit of Belfast’s nightlife, culture, and charm. With boutique rooms for restful escapes, a lively bar for nights out, and a restaurant ready to redefine local flavours, we’re the city’s next must-visit destination. Now, we’re looking for a General Manager who can bring out the best in our team and connect with the community, making The Foundry a go-to spot for all.
