• Creating structured, fair rosters that balance labour cost and service demand.

• International experience is a plus
• Strength under pressure — this place gets intense, and you keep your cool.
• A fresh outlook and strong operational knowledge, ready to level up systems and team performance.
• Strong leadership skills — coaching, supporting, and holding the team accountable.
• Duty Manager Certificate and a solid understanding of licensing obligations.
• A natural drive to improve service, boost efficiency, and create a great guest experience.

What's In It For You
