Ready for your next move in hospitality management? Artesian Hospitality is looking for experienced Venue Managers and Assistant Venue Managers to join our leadership team across our Surfers Paradise portfolio.
We're home to some of the Gold Coast's most recognised hospitality and entertainment venues, spanning high-volume nightlife, rooftop entertainment, pubs, restaurants and bars.
Our Surfers Paradise portfolio includes:
- Cali Beach Club – Australia's largest rooftop beach club
- Fig 'n Fox – a modern British pub in the heart of Surfers Paradise
- Bedroom Lounge Bar – one of the Gold Coast's most iconic late-night venues
- Havana RnB Nightclub – dedicated R&B and hip-hop nightlife
- Tempo – an intimate late-night bar and entertainment venue
With such a diverse portfolio, we're not necessarily looking for one particular type of hospitality manager. We're looking for great operators and will consider where your experience, strengths and leadership style are best suited.
Whether you're an established Venue Manager looking for your next challenge or an experienced Assistant Manager ready to take the next step, we'd love to hear from you.
The Role Working closely with our senior operations team, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day operation of your venue and play an important role in its overall performance, culture and guest experience. Depending on your role and venue, your responsibilities will include:
- Leading, developing and motivating a high-performing venue team
- Managing day-to-day operations and maintaining strong service standards
- Being a visible, hands-on leader during key trading periods
- Creating a positive culture of accountability, professionalism and teamwork
- Delivering exceptional guest experiences
- Managing rosters, labour and wage performance
- Monitoring sales, costs and key venue performance indicators
- Maintaining strong RSA, licensing, WHS and operational compliance
- Supporting recruitment, onboarding, training and performance management
- Managing stock, cash handling and operational controls
- Working closely with security, entertainment, marketing, sales and other departments
Identifying opportunities to improve venue performance, service and profitability

About You First and foremost, we're looking for hospitality leaders who take ownership, care about their teams and know how to run a great service. You'll ideally bring:
- Previous management experience within hospitality, bars, pubs, restaurants or nightlife
- Strong people leadership and communication skills
- Experience working in a fast-paced or high-volume environment
- A good understanding of rostering, wages and venue financial performance
- Strong operational and compliance standards
- Current Queensland RSA
- Confidence managing difficult situations and making sound decisions during service
- A hands-on leadership style and willingness to lead from the floor
A genuine interest in developing people and building a strong venue culture
-
High-volume and late-night experience will be highly regarded for some of our venues, but our portfolio is diverse. We're equally interested in strong operators from restaurant, pub and bar backgrounds. A current First Aid Certificate, RMLV and Approved Manager accreditation will also be highly regarded, but they aren't essential at the time of application. For the right candidate, we're happy to support you in obtaining the relevant qualifications and accreditations required for your role.
The Benefits Joining Artesian means becoming part of a larger hospitality group where your career doesn't have to stop at one venue. As our venues and people continue to develop, there are opportunities to progress into larger venues, experience different concepts and move into more senior operational roles across the group.
You'll also enjoy:
- Performance-based bonus opportunity of $21,000–$42,000 per annum, depending on the management position
- 50% staff discount across Artesian Hospitality venues
- Genuine career progression across multiple venues and concepts
- Support from an experienced senior operations team
- Training and professional development opportunities
- Support in obtaining relevant industry qualifications and accreditations
- The opportunity to work within some of the Gold Coast's most recognised hospitality and entertainment venues
A fast-paced environment where capable managers are trusted with responsibility and given the opportunity to make an impact
-
Working Rights & Sponsorship Applicants must have current Australian working rights that allow them to fulfil the requirements of the position. Employer sponsorship is not available on commencement and will not be considered until an employee has completed a minimum of 12 months' employment with Artesian Hospitality. Any future consideration of sponsorship is not guaranteed and will be subject to individual performance, business requirements and eligibility at that time.
