Venue General Manager

Ganley Group - Where hospitality feels like home.

Ganley Group Hospitality Purveyors Company is home to a growing collection of pubs and dining rooms across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, including The Fifth Province, Freddie Wimpole’s, Angus & Bon, The Bay Hotel Mornington, The Windsor Castle Hotel and The Carlton Club.

We live for the invisible details of a good room: the glow of the lighting, the comfort of the stool, the pace of service, the feeling that everything is exactly as it should be. When those details are right, they go unnoticed. When they are not, everyone feels it. That is the quiet craft of making guests feel at home.

An outstanding opportunity is now available for an experienced Venue General Manager to join the team initially on a 12 month contract at our largest venue The Fifth Province; an authentic Irish pub in the heart of St Kilda. Warm, lively, and built for whatever the craic might be, The Fifth Province brings together proper pints, live music, sport, whiskey, and a welcoming atmosphere across the Public Bar, Whiskey Bar, Verandah, Beer Garden and newly opened Carriage Bar, a dedicated event space.

The General Manager is responsible for overall performance, culture, standards, brand integrity and profitability. You will be leading all day-to-day operations, managing staff and finances, ensuring exceptional guest experiences, business sustainability and consistency. Other key responsibilities include driving sales while maintaining compliance with licensing, health and safety standards; managing relationships with suppliers, service providers and stakeholders and working with group senior management on long-term strategy and venue development.

To be considered you will need proven experience as a General Manager or Senior Manager in a pub or hospitality venue, strong leadership and people-management skills and sound financial and business acumen. You will also need to have excellent communication and problem-solving abilities, be commercially minded and have the ability to work flexible hours, including nights, weekends, and public holidays.

With the prospect of managing the five distinct spaces under one roof at The Fifth; the the potential to develop and take your career to the next level is unlimited, all whilst enjoying 30% off all food and beverages across all Ganley Group Hospitality venues.
