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

Opening soon at the Roslyn Packer Theatre in Walsh Bay, this moody, late-night cocktail bar is designed for the pre- and post-theatre crowd (and anyone who wants to linger long after curtain call). It will be a destination for martinis before the show, Champagne after, late-night snacks, and a program of music and events that keeps the room alive when the stage is dark.

We're looking for a Bar Manager to bring the venue to life and lead its launch from the ground up. This is a rare pre-opening opportunity to shape the drinks program, build and inspire a skilled team, and set the tone for a venue designed to become a mainstay of Sydney's cultural precinct.

Are you ready to put your stamp on one of Sydney's most exciting new bars?

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Designing and executing a creative drinks program that defines the venue's identity

  • Leading daily bar operations with confidence, professionalism, and warmth

  • Recruiting, training, and inspiring a passionate team to deliver standout service

  • Driving a positive, performance-driven culture that values fun and professionalism

  • Managing stock, ordering, and cost controls to keep the business strong

  • Collaborating with theatre and events teams to create memorable guest experiences

What We're Looking For:

  • A seasoned hospitality professional with 3–5 years' experience in cocktail bars or late-night venues

  • Strong knowledge of spirits, cocktails, wine, and bar trends — with the creativity to innovate

  • A natural leader who thrives in a high-energy, guest-focused environment

  • Operational smarts: stock control, compliance, rostering, and cost management

  • Calm under pressure, proactive, and an excellent communicator

  • RSA certification (essential)

What's in it for you:

  • A rare pre-opening role where you'll help shape a new Sydney destination from the ground up

  • Creative freedom to design drinks, events, and experiences that make make the venue stand out

  • The buzz of working in Sydney's arts and theatre hub, alongside world-class talent

  • A chance to build and mentor a team you'll be proud of

  • Competitive salary + tips, with opportunities for growth as the venue develops

  • Staff discounts and perks across the broader hospitality group

This is more than a job — it's a chance to create something special in the heart of Sydney's cultural precinct.

If you've got the confidence, creativity, and calm to make this venue a destination, we'd love to hear from you.
