General Manager

The Opportunity

Our client—a leading national hospitality group—has acquired a landmark venue in Melbourne’s North and is currently executing a massive, full-site renovation to turn it into their flagship large-format venue in the region.

We are searching for a high-energy, commercially sharp General Manager to take full operational ownership of this high-volume, single-site business. This is an incredible opportunity to steer a major venue launch from the ground up—driving massive food and beverage trade while maintaining oversight across modern gaming and retail bottle shop operations.

As a visible, front-of-house General Manager, you will lead directly from the floor. You’ll be as active during peak trade windows as you are managing P&L performance, labour efficiency, venue compliance, and local community engagement. You will also have total freedom to recruit, induct, and build your own venue team ahead of the grand re-opening.

The Candidate

• Minimum 3 years General Manager / Venue Manager experience running high-volume, large-format pubs, taverns, or entertainment venues.
• Essential Qualifications: Current Gaming License, RSA, and First Aid certification.
• Operational Capability: Direct operational knowledge and oversight of gaming room operations (supported by an onsite Gaming Manager).
• Leadership Style: A modern, and high-energy leader who thrives on the floor, inspires frontline teams, and upholds exceptional venue standards.
• Launch/Refurb Experience: Prior venue launch, re-branding, or major refurbishment experience will be highly regarded.

Benefits

• Base Package: $135,000 – $145,000 + Super.
• Incentive Structure: $15,000 – $20,000 bonus structure tied directly to Sales, EBITDA, and Gaming performance.
• Career Growth: Executive support and long-term career pathways within an expanding national hospitality group.
• Flagship Project: Lead the re-launch of a flagship venue asset with full recruitment and operational control.
