Inner West Council, Australia Odd Culture Group Full time

SPON is about the celebration of all things spontaneous. Our new wine bar & bottle shop is made for trying new things and having fun exploring the possibilities.

With our store developing and growing, we need a seasoned and ambitious Manager to coordinate and oversee the operation of the in-store, retail, and e-commerce operations.

SPON has a marked focus on natural wine, craft beer, and spirits made by producers with conscious farming efforts; working sustainability, organically, and biodynamically. We focus on honest expressions of terroir, including native yeasts, bacteria, and cultures. This natural booze-forward concept is the cornerstone of our initial Odd Culture vision, and our bottle shop hosts one of the most extensive packaged liquor offerings in Sydney.

In the shop, we've gota rotational 12-bottle wine, beer, and cider board, all available by the glass. If there are open slots on the board, we encourage guests to browse the shelves and fridges for a drop they want and bring it to the counter for us to open and pour by the glass for anyone to partake, until the bottle is empty. The bottle shop boasts an extraordinary selection of wild ales, natural wines, and other beverages.

Our rotational bottle selection format creates a highly dynamic and ever-changing service and guest experience, with something new on pour every day, multiple times a day.
