Job description

Ready to lead your next venue — and build a career beyond it?

Australian Venue Co. is growing its Melbourne portfolio, and we’re looking for experienced hospitality leaders to join our management teams across the city.

As we grow, so do our people. Existing Venue Managers are progressing into larger venues, new sites and broader leadership roles, creating new opportunities across our portfolio.

From iconic pubs and food-led venues to high-volume, late-night and entertainment destinations, our Melbourne portfolio includes some of the city’s best-known venues, including Hotel Esplanade (The Espy), Garden State Hotel and Morris House.

The Opportunity

As a Venue Manager, you’ll take ownership of your venue’s people, performance and guest experience, including:

  • Leading and developing high-performing teams
  • Driving commercial performance with full P&L accountability
  • Managing labour, stock, costs and operational performance
  • Delivering exceptional guest experiences
  • Identifying opportunities to grow revenue
  • Developing future leaders and succession plans
  • Maintaining strong compliance, safety and operational standards

About You

We’re looking for experienced Venue Managers and General Managers with:

  • High-volume pub, bar, restaurant or entertainment experience
  • Strong commercial and P&L capability
  • Proven people leadership and team development skills
  • Confidence operating in complex, fast-paced environments
  • A passion for great hospitality and guest experiences

What’s on Offer

  • $95,000–$120,000 + Super, plus a performance bonus of up to $44,000 p.a. paid quarterly — OTE $164,000 + Super.

  • Opportunities across our growing Melbourne portfolio
  • Genuine progression into larger venues and operational leadership
  • Career development and support from experienced AVC leaders

Not Quite Ready for Venue Manager?

We’d still love to hear from you.

As our Melbourne portfolio grows, we also have opportunities for experienced Assistant Venue Managers and Duty Managers looking to take the next step.

At AVC, we’re big on developing our people and creating genuine pathways from Duty Manager → Assistant Venue Manager → Venue Manager and beyond.

Whether you’re ready to lead a venue now or looking for the opportunity that will get you there, we want to hear from you.

Apply now for a confidential conversation with our Talent Team about management opportunities across Melbourne.
