Sommelier | Maha CBD

Sommelier | Maha CBD Delia Group

Grow your wine career at one of Melbourne's most iconic tables.

Maha is chef Shane Delia's flagship modern Australian Middle Eastern restaurant in the heart of the CBD — a 120-seat dining room, two private dining rooms, and an adjacent cocktail bar, all built around an award-winning wine list of local and international drops.If you want real scope to build a wine career — not just pour it — this is where you do it.

We're looking for a sommelier who's genuinely obsessed with wine and just as obsessed with making guests feel looked after.

What you'll get:

• A real seat at the table in shaping an award-winning, constantly evolving wine list
• Hands-on exposure to iconic local and international producers, tastings, and trade events
• A well-run back-of-house inventory system, so stock is accounted for, available, and properly rotated — no guesswork
• Support to lead and curate in-house wine training for the floor team
• A clear path into supervisory and management roles across the Delia Group
• A driven, experienced team that will back you in growing the list and your own reputation
• CBD location, footsteps from public transport

What you'll bring:

• 2+ years in a similar wine-focused role in a fast-paced venue, with a hands-on, solutions-first approach to service
• WSET or CMS qualifications (or you're actively working towards them), and a real passion for wine to back it up
• Solid knowledge of Australian and international wine regions and markets
• A sharp eye for detail, especially with stocktake and invoicing, and strong organisational and time-management skills
• The confidence to work autonomously, and the judgement to know when to take direction
• A warm, outgoing, competitive streak — you love going the extra mile for guests and quietly love being the best on the floor
• Flexibility to work weekends and public holidays
• The people skills to mentor junior wine team members and help build a genuine beverage culture, working closely with our management team
• A hunger to keep learning — new regions, new producers, new industry trends
