Job description

Hosting Events is exciting, dynamic and never boring!

We are welcoming interest in this new role now to be the on site lead for events at Southside primarily as well as Central and Marlowe.

About the venues you will be hosting events at

Southside

In the middle of South Brisbane, underneath the trains and surrounded by the easy energy of Fish Lane, Southside makes itself at home in an urban oasis. Here, you'll find dining spaces to explore, long tables, open-air courtyards and a landscaped jungle a stone's throw from Brisbane's Cultural Precinct, with plenty of space to settle in.

Inspired by the vibrant energy of Hong Kong, Central 中環 is an underground restaurant and dumpling bar beneath the streets of Brisbane’s CBD, unexpected in all the right ways. Descend the stairs and the city disappears. Central 中環 channels the frenetic pulse of 1990s Hong Kong through a new lens with concrete minimalism, moody hues, and Modern Cantonese flavours creating a menu built for long lunches and late nights

Marlowe

Today, Marlowe carries on this timeless spirit of hospitality. We practise the art of making people feel at home, and celebrate the simple pleasure of good company, generous plates of food, and great local wine. Our menu is shaped by dishes we grew up eating, reimagined for the table we set today.
