VENUE MANAGER
Nine-month contract
Commencing 16 March
Swap traffic lights for Sunsets…that’s our promise. We’re looking for an experienced Venue Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of our island venue.
Based on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), our venue is fast-paced, community-focused and driven by great beer, great food and genuine hospitality. This role suits someone who thrives in a hands-on environment, enjoys leading a team from the floor, and is just as comfortable with systems and numbers as they are with people.
The Role
As Venue Manager, you’ll be responsible for both front and back of house operations, ensuring the venue runs smoothly day in, day out. This is a nine-month contract with a competitive salary, and accommodation is available for the right candidate.
About You
You’ll bring:
- At least 2 years’ experience in a similar fast-paced hospitality venue
- Strong leadership skills and a calm, organised approach under pressure
- Proven experience with point of sale systems, rostering, COGS, and inventory management
- A practical understanding of cost control and operational efficiency
- A genuine love of hospitality, great beer, and island life.
Most importantly, you’re someone who leads by example, values teamwork, and understands that consistency and care are what turn first-time visitors into regulars.
Why Straddie Brewing Co?
We are a family-owned independent brewery based on the second largest sand island in the world! You’ll work with a great team in a supportive, values-driven environment and have the opportunity to live and work on one of Australia’s most iconic islands. Your contribution geniunely matters.
If you’re ready to bring your hospitality experience to an island-crafted venue — and swap traffic lights for sunsets — we’d love to hear from you.
