Australian Bar & Beverage Group is excited to announce we are searching for a Venue Manager to help launch our new concept cocktail bar in St Kilda. We are currently undertaking a big renovation and ready to open soon.

About the Venue

A historical Melbourne location and a multi-faceted venue that can cater for many different experiences, over two floors. Think events, cocktails, functions & a "Billion Dollar View".

About You

You will be a positive, proactive individual with good communication skills. You will be a team player with a strong focus on providing great experience to our customers. You will have at least 3 years of venue management experience. You enjoy a fast-paced food and beverage environment and maintain a professional attitude at all times whilst having fun and being part of a great team.
