Venue Manager | Melbourne_Australia
A true local's coastal pub. Suited to a leader looking for a lifestyle change. One of the best venues on the Southwest Coast
The Opportunity Our client’s venue is the kind of place you visit to relax in the beer garden with friends, enjoy a classic pub lunch or dinner, or watch a live sporting event at your favourite local spot.
We’re partnering with ownership that’s seeking an experienced hospitality leader - someone ready to take charge of a medium-sized venue with a strong focus on food, beverage, and functions.
The role is a hands-on, front-and-centre Venue Manager position, requiring the successful candidate to seamlessly switch between pouring pints and serving locals, to overseeing P&L management, staffing, and stakeholder relationships.
This coastal pub thrives all year round, supported by a loyal local crowd, and really comes alive on weekends, public holidays, and during the summer months.
The Candidate - A minimum of 1 year’s venue management experience is essential - ideally within pubs, clubs, or multi-faceted food and beverage venues.
- Strong interpersonal skills are a must - whether it’s engaging with locals or leading a team, we’re looking for a natural communicator and motivator.
- A customer service-driven leader who can create memorable experiences and isn’t afraid to push boundaries to deliver excellence.
- Experience managing teams of 20+ will be highly regarded, but not essential for the right candidate.
The Benefits - Work for hands-on, supportive ownership - not a large corporate group where you’re treated as a number.
- Mid to long-term growth opportunities within a small, homegrown, and locally focused hospitality group.
- A respected coastal venue with steady year-round trade and strong community support.
- Join a forward-thinking senior team that challenges the “same old” approach and strives to innovate.
- Competitive salary package plus optional short-term accommodation available for the right candidate.
