Bar-Focused Leadership Opportunity | Rotating 7-Day Roster

At TFE Hotels, we're proud to be an Australian global hospitality group. We combine local spirit with international opportunity.

Here, you'll be supported to grow, learn and make a real impact with the tools, development and benefits to help you thrive.

At Vibe Hotel Darling Harbour, we're looking for an energetic and hands-on Assistant Food & Beverage Manager (part-time) to help lead our vibrant food and beverage operation. This is an exciting opportunity for an emerging hospitality leader with a strong background in bars, beverages, cocktails and team leadership to make their mark in one of Sydney's most dynamic hotel environments.

Great bars don't run themselves. They're driven by passionate leaders who know how to create memorable guest experiences, build engaged teams and keep service flowing from the first coffee to the final cocktail.

About the Role

Reporting to the Food & Beverage Manager, you'll be a hands-on leader across our bar, restaurant and conferencing operations, ensuring exceptional service standards while inspiring your team to deliver memorable guest experiences every day.

This is a leadership role for someone who thrives on the floor rather than behind a desk. You'll be visible, guest-focused and ready to jump in wherever needed, whether that's crafting cocktails, supporting a busy service, coaching team members or leading an event.

• Assisting with rostering, labour management and team performance
• Maintaining beverage quality, presentation and service consistency
• Supporting stock control, ordering, inventory management and stocktakes
• Working closely with the Kitchen, Front Office and Sales teams to deliver seamless events and functions
• Contributing ideas to improve service, revenue and operational efficiency
• Unrestricted Australian working rights with no sponsorship requirement

About You

You’ll bring a genuine passion for hospitality and a strong understanding of contemporary bar operations.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous leadership experience in a hotel bar, restaurant, venue or hospitality environment
• Strong beverage knowledge, including wine, spirits, cocktails and coffee
• Experience leading and developing high-performing teams
• A hands-on leadership style and passion for guest service
• Sound commercial awareness and understanding of labour and stock controls
• Current RSA certification
• Food Safety Supervisor Certification or willingness to obtain
• Flexible availability to work across a rotating 7-day roster, including evenings, weekends and public holidays
• Unrestricted Australian working rights with no sponsorship requirement
