Full Job Description

Muse Events & Catering / The Chandlery
Port Melbourne + offsite event locations
Full-time | $85,000 + super + performance bonus

Muse Events & Catering is looking for an organised, practical and proactive Operations & Venue Manager to join our growing, family-owned events business.

We deliver weddings, corporate events and private celebrations across Melbourne and regional Victoria, alongside operating our own private venue, The Chandlery in Port Melbourne.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is physically capable and can confidently take ownership of the people, equipment, stock and logistics required to deliver exceptional events.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Working directly with the owners and alongside our Event Manager and kitchen leadership team, you will oversee:

Event operations and logistics
FOH staffing and weekly rosters
Event pack-outs, bump-ins and bump-outs
The operational readiness of The Chandlery
Beverage ordering and stock management
Equipment, vehicles, suppliers and external hires
FOH leadership, recruitment and training
Labour and operational cost control
Venue maintenance and compliance
Event checklists, systems and procedures
Operational leadership at key events

This is not a desk-bound corporate role. You’ll need to be comfortable planning ahead, leading from the floor and solving problems calmly when circumstances change.

ABOUT YOU

You may currently be a Venue Manager, Functions Manager, Restaurant Manager, Catering or Event Operations Manager, Hospitality Manager or experienced Event Supervisor ready to step up.

You’ll ideally have:

Strong hospitality, venue, catering or events experience
Experience leading FOH or event teams
Rostering and labour-management experience
Excellent organisation and attention to detail
Experience managing stock, suppliers or equipment
Commercial awareness around labour and operating costs
Strong communication and independent decision-making skills
A calm, solutions-focused approach
A current Australian driver’s licence
Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends when required
Excellent communication is essential

WHY JOIN MUSE?

You’ll work directly with the owners, have genuine autonomy and play a meaningful role in shaping how our operations, and our brand evolve as the business grows.

At Muse, our values guide the way we work. We champion local Victorian produce, build genuine relationships with farmers, growers and artisan suppliers, and source directly wherever possible. This role gives you the opportunity to visit farms, work closely with our suppliers and make considered operational decisions that strengthen the quality, reputation and sustainability of the business.

There is plenty of variety across weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, offsite catering and venue operations. You won’t simply maintain existing systems, you’ll be trusted to identify opportunities, improve how we work and help build a stronger, more thoughtful hospitality business.

PACKAGE

$85,000 + superannuation, plus eligibility for a performance bonus of up to 5% of base salary.

This is a full-time hospitality management role. Some evening and weekend work will be required, with hours planned sensibly around the events calendar.

DRIVERS LICENCE ESSENTIAL

TO APPLY

Please submit your CV and a short introduction outlining your relevant experience and why this role appeals to you.

We’d also love to hear about an event, venue or operation you’ve helped run and what you personally did to make it work better.

Pay: $80,000.00 – $90,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
