Perth, Australia Light Years Full time

Location
- Perth
- Role type
- Full time

**THE VENUE**:
Before Byron Bay became a dining destination, there was Light Years. Tucked in an intimate space in the centre of town, the modern Asian restaurant became a fast favourite for its playful approach to hospitality, a modern Asian dining experience that offers delicious share-style food, unique cocktails, and friendly wait staff.

Since it first opened back in 2017, the stalwart of the beach town’s dining scene has become something of a phenomenon, spawning outposts in Noosa, Burleigh Heads and Newcastle. And in late 2022, Light Years Byron Bay packed up and opened its second iteration in a brand new, larger space - an evolved, grown-up version.

Fast forward to 2025, and it’s time for Light Years to spread its flavour powered wings to Western Australia. A prime Perth CBD location, situated within a stylish iconic heritage building on William Street, Light Years Perth will be the biggest (boldest) venture yet. This two-hundred-seater venue will showcase laneway dining, private dining and a stunning centralised bar for a good dose of good-time vibes

We are ready for YOU to join this exciting opening and embrace a collaborative, fun environment and excellent team culture.

‍

**POSITION OVERVIEW**:
As Assistant Bar Manager, you’ll be a key part of the leadership team, working closely with the Bar Manager and Venue Managers to ensure smooth day-to-day bar operations. You’ll help lead, train, and inspire the bar team, maintain Light Years’ high drink standards, and ensure an unforgettable guest experience.
