Sydney, New South Wales, Australia The Fresh Collective Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Be part of Sydney's next iconic hospitality destination.

We're opening a 
moody, late-night New York-style cocktail bar
 in the buzzing 
Walsh Bay Arts Precinct
, steps from the Roslyn Packer Theatre. With a focus on pre-show martinis, post-show Champagne, unforgettable late-night snacks, and dynamic live programming — this venue is set to become one of Sydney's most exciting new cultural hotspots.

We're building the opening team — and we're on the hunt for a 
Venue Manager
 to help shape and lead it from day one.

Why This Role is Different

This is not a plug-and-play operation. This is a rare opportunity to:

  • Lead a venue from the ground up
    , shaping its identity, team, and culture.
  • Design world-class guest experiences
     in collaboration with leading creatives, performers, and chefs.
  • Put your stamp
     on the drinks program, late-night offering, and venue events calendar.
  • Work within a passionate, professional group that champions both 
    creative freedom and operational excellence
    .
  • Be based in one of 
    Sydney's most iconic cultural locations
    , right in the beating heart of the theatre precinct.

About the Role

As 
Venue Manager
, you'll be responsible for:

  • Leading and inspiring the front-of-house and bar team to deliver a truly exceptional guest experience, night after night.
  • Overseeing financials, budgets, cost controls and reporting to ensure a profitable and sustainable venue.
  • Developing and executing a standout 
    drinks program
     in collaboration with the Bar Manager.
  • Managing programming of 
    live music, DJs and events
    , working closely with our partners including the Sydney Theatre Company.
  • Driving recruitment, training, team culture and retention — creating a workplace people love.
  • Ensuring compliance across liquor licensing, WHS, food safety and workplace legislation.
  • Collaborating closely with the 
    F&B Operations Manager
     and contributing to the larger strategy of our hospitality group.

Who We're Looking For

  • An experienced and confident 
    hospitality leader
    , ideally with a background in cocktail bars, late-night venues, or premium restaurants.
  • Someone who's both 
    guest-obsessed and commercially savvy
    , capable of balancing creative ambition with strong business performance.
  • A natural team builder who 
    leads by example
    , with high standards, a positive attitude, and a strong sense of accountability.
  • A hands-on operator who thrives in dynamic environments, and loves creating systems, teams, and culture from scratch.
  • A passion for drinks, service, theatre, music, and Sydney's evolving nightlife scene is essential.


What's In It for You

  • Be part of the 
    pre-opening team
     and build something from the ground up.
  • Real 
    creative input and ownership
     — this is your stage.
  • Fast-tracked growth
     and future opportunities within a growing hospitality group.
  • Competitive salary + tips + 
    staff perks and discounts
     across our venues.
  • An inspiring workplace in a 
    landmark location
    , surrounded by creativity and performance.
