Assistant Venue Manager with Riverland Group – Where Good People Deliver Great Experiences

We're on the move – and we're searching for passionate, people-first leaders to join us on the journey

Riverland Group is looking for an energetic Assistant Venue Manager ready to help shape the future of our iconic venues. Known for creating Great Experiences, we're proud to deliver great food, cold beer, innovative cocktails – and unforgettable good times.

About Us

At Riverland Group, our motto is simple: Good People, Great Experiences.

With over a decade in the game, we've built a reputation for vibrant venues that bring people together. Our portfolio includes seven legendary destinations – Riverland Bar, The Boatbuilders Yard, The General Assembly, Hotel Railway, Jetty Road Brewery (Dromana), Naked For Satan and Lot 100 (South Australia).

From riverside beer gardens and South Wharf institutions to a coastal brewery in Dromana, each venue has its own vibe – but they all share the same heart: Great Experiences delivered by Good People.

The Role

We're looking for leaders who thrive on energy, teamwork, and creating unforgettable moments. As an Assistant Venue Manager, you'll learn the full spectrum of venue operations – from staff leadership and recruitment to finance, food, and beverage development. You'll help drive the culture, the service, and the success of your venue.

What We're After

You'll bring more than just experience – you'll bring drive, ambition, and a love for people and hospitality. With at least two years as an AVM in a large venue, or proven Venue Manager experience in a mid-sized operation ready for the next step, you know what it takes to run a busy, high-performing team. You're confident managing kitchens and FOH, and you've got the financial smarts to handle forecasting, rostering, wage control, budgets, and P&L analysis. Hands-on and organised, you thrive in the day-to-day operations while keeping an eye on the bigger picture. You know how to recruit the right people, spot red and green flags, and build teams that last. Most importantly, you're always looking for ways to lift the game – whether it's sharper service, stronger presentation, or raising the bar on food and beverage quality.

Why You'll Love It Here

You'll be part of a passionate, supportive crew that celebrates wins together and has each other's backs. We invest in our people with free internal management training and clear, structured career progression – so you're never standing still. As part of a group that's big enough to create opportunities but small enough to genuinely care, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds: room to grow without getting lost in the crowd. On top of that, you'll have access to bonus opportunities, generous staff discounts across all our venues, and genuine pathways into senior management or exciting new venue openings.

We're building something special – and you could be part of it. Join us, grow with us, and help us create Great Experiences every day.

All applicants will receive a response.
