Area Manager

You’ve Led the Teams. Now Lead the Leaders. 
   
Role: Area Manager, Hospitality 
Location: Melbourne CBD 
Salary: $110,000 – $130,000 + Super + Bonus
 
You’ve done the late nights, the stocktakes that ran over, the roster jigsaw puzzle that somehow always works. You’ve turned around underperforming venues, launched new ones without a hitch, and kept your cool when the fryer died in the middle of a rush.

Now it’s time to bring that skill set to a role where you’re backed by a progressive, people-first hospitality group that values your operational edge, your commercial smarts, and your leadership presence.

What makes you perfect?

  • You can read a P&L like a novel—and you know how to rewrite the ending.
  • You’ve managed multiple venues with a mix of personalities, priorities, and challenges.
  • You understand that guest experience and GP% are equally important.
  • You know the difference between “busy” and “profitable” and can coach your teams to hit both.
  • Your background in pubs, hotels, or elevated hospitality means you can walk the floor, read the room, and know exactly where to jump in.

What we’re looking for:

  • A proven operator who can lead high-performing venue managers without losing the human touch.
  • Strong commercial smarts—budgets, wage control, forecasting, stock management.
  • Experience delivering promotions and operational upgrades at pace.
  • Ability to take raw data and turn it into meaningful action that drives results.
  • Hands-on leadership with an air of seniority—you’re not just in the trenches, you’re directing the battle.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Salary $110,000 – $130,000 + Super + Bonus.
  • Career growth and an opportunity to change the big picture. 
  • A leadership team that actually understands hospitality and has your back.
  • A business that’s structured enough to support you, but agile enough to let you make your mark.

If you’ve mastered multi-site and you’re ready for a role where your presence matters as much as your performance, this is your shot.

Bring your experience, your hustle, and your sense of humour—because we know the best operators have all three.
