About The Role | Te mahi

At Hind Management, we believe a great bar experience is about more than what's in the glass. It's about the atmosphere, the connections, and those little moments that turn a simple drink into something memorable.

As a Bartender, you'll bring energy, personality, and creativity to every guest interaction. From crafting the perfect cocktail to recommending a new favourite, you'll create experiences that keep guests coming back. More than serving drinks, you'll help set the tone, bring our bar to life, and share the genuine hospitality and manaakitanga that we are known for.

If you have a flair for mixology, enjoy connecting with people, thrive in a vibrant environment, and love adding your own personal touch to every experience, we'd love to welcome you to our whānau.

Perched on the top floor of Sudima Auckland City, Sunset is a contemporary rooftop bar where bespoke cocktails, great music and good vibes come together.

From seasonal cocktails and eclectic wines to locally crafted beers and delicious share‑style bites, Sunset brings a fresh and vibrant energy to Auckland's hospitality scene. With live DJs, a stylish atmosphere and sweeping views across the Waitematā Harbour to the Waitākere Ranges, it's the perfect spot to enjoy golden hour through to late night.

At Sunset, we're all about great people, genuine hospitality and creating memorable experiences. Join our team and be part of the Sunset vibe!

This is a Part‑time role based at Sudima Auckland City.
