Founded by three mates in 2013, Varsity has grown from your favourite student bar into one of WA’s most exciting entertainment hospitality brands.

From burgers, beers and wings to arcade games, bowling and packed-out venues, we’re all about creating unforgettable experiences and Good Times Always.

As Varsity continues to grow, we’re looking for an experienced Learning & Development Manager to help build the next generation of leaders, elevate operational capability and bring our people strategy to life.

  • Manage and improve learning systems, reporting and training processes
  • Support people development initiatives that strengthen culture, engagement and retention
  • Deliver workshops, leadership sessions and operational training programs
  • Travel between venues to support teams and embed learning outcomes

What Will You Bring?

  • Previous experience in hospitality, Learning & Development, Training or Operations leadership
  • Strong understanding of multi-site hospitality operations
  • Experience creating and facilitating engaging training programs
  • Ability to influence, coach and build strong relationships across all levels of the business
  • Passion for leadership development and people growth
  • High energy, adaptability and a hands-on approach
  • Strong organisation and project management skills
  • Experience with learning platforms and training systems is highly regarded
  • Confidence working in fast-paced and growing environments
  • Ability to balance both strategic planning and operational execution

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive salary package
  • Genuine career growth opportunities within the expanding Signature Hospitality Group portfolio
  • Work with a high-energy, people-first hospitality brand
  • Staff discounts across Signature Hospitality venues nationally
  • Access to employee discounts across leading retail brands
  • A role where you can genuinely influence culture, leadership and growth

Sound good?
