As a Commis Sommelier, you will play an essential role in delivering exceptional wine experiences across our restaurants and bars.

If you are eager to develop your wine expertise within a world-class luxury environment and thrive on creating memorable guest experiences, we would love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide personalised wine recommendations and pairing suggestions, helping guests confidently explore and enjoy the wine list.

• Work closely with culinary and front-of-house teams to create a seamless dining experience and enhance food and wine pairings.
• Monitor the quality of open bottles and ensure beverage service equipment is maintained to the highest standards.
• Contribute positively to the guest journey, ensuring every interaction reflects Rosewood's commitment to luxury hospitality.

• Influencing — You communicate with confidence and ease, adapting your tone whether guiding guests through a menu, making a tailored recommendation, or coordinating with the kitchen under pressure.
• Integrity — You follow service standards consistently, take full responsibility for your section, and handle every guest interaction with discretion, care, and professionalism.
• Drive — You bring genuine energy to every shift, holding yourself to the highest personal standards, going the extra mile without being asked, and always looking for ways to improve.
• Adaptability — You stay composed and solutions-focused when the pace intensifies or priorities shift, adjusting seamlessly to meet the evolving needs of guests and the service environment.
