• Building a strong, accountable and high-performing team culture
• Maintaining exceptional standards across service, food, beverage, compliance and presentation
• Creating memorable experiences that keep guests coming back

What's on offer?

• Competitive salary package with OTE up to $139,000 (base salary + super + performance-based bonus)
• Full ownership of an established and distinctive hospitality venue
• Support from an experienced operational leadership team
• Ongoing leadership development and career progression
• Opportunities across Australian Venue Co.'s extensive national portfolio

You're an experienced hospitality leader who knows how to balance people, performance and guest experience.
You'll bring:

• Proven Venue Manager or senior leadership experience within a busy pub, bar or entertainment venue
• Strong commercial capability across P&L, labour, stock management and venue KPIs
• Experience leading, developing and retaining high-performing teams
• A confident, visible and hands-on leadership style
• An understanding of beverage-led operations, live entertainment and late-night trade
