The Opportunity:
As an Assistant Venue Manager, you will play a key role in leading the day-to-day operation of the venue, driving team performance and delivering a high-quality guest experience.
Working closely with the Venue Manager, you will take ownership of service on shift while supporting broader operations across team leadership, service standards and venue performance. You will lead briefings, manage service flow and support the team to deliver a smooth, well-executed service.

You will also play a key role in developing your team through coaching, feedback and on-shift leadership, helping to build a strong and collaborative team environment.
You will be comfortable balancing the floor during service while managing the broader operational needs of the venue, with a focus on delivering both strong service and a well-run operation.
We are currently recruiting across a select number of venues within our Cairns properties, including restaurant, bar and breakfast environments.
This is a role suited to someone who enjoys leading from the front, takes ownership and is ready to step into a broader leadership position.
