- A hands-on, high-impact role at one of Victoria’s most iconic properties
- The opportunity to leave your mark and guide a restaurant to hat recognition
- Competitive full-time salary package
- Autonomy and creative freedom to lead and innovate
- A supportive, forward-thinking leadership team
- Relocation support available for the right candidate

If you’re ready to drive the next culinary chapter of a landmark destination, inspire a team, and lead a restaurant to new heights — we want to hear from you.

Apply now and lead with purpose, passion, and produce.
