Managers | The Colonist & SA Venues

Ready to take the next step in hospitality leadership?

Australian Venue Co. is looking for Assistant Venue Managers and Duty Managers to join our teams across Adelaide and South Australia, including an exciting opportunity at The Colonist Tavern in Norwood.

The Colonist is currently undergoing a $3.5 million transformation, creating an opportunity to help build a new team, shape the culture and be part of bringing the newly transformed venue to life.

But The Colonist isn't our only opportunity.

We're always looking to connect with great hospitality leaders across our South Australian venues - whether you're an experienced Assistant Venue Manager, a Duty Manager looking for your next move, or a strong hospitality supervisor ready to start building towards the next level.

People are our investment

We believe great venues start with great people, and we want to develop and progress our leaders, not just recruit them into a position.

You don't necessarily need to be ready to step straight into an Assistant Venue Manager role today. If you have genuine hospitality leadership experience, the right attitude and the ambition to develop, we'd still love to get to know you.

The Colonist - Assistant Venue Manager

Salary: $80,000-$82,000 + super

Bonus: Up to $5,000 per year, paid quarterly

At The Colonist, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Help build and develop a new team
• Shape the venue's culture and standards
• Be part of the relaunch following a $3.5M transformation
• Work alongside the Venue Manager and develop your operational and commercial skills
• Build your career within Australian Venue Co.'s 200+ venue portfolio

What we're looking for

We're looking for people who already have some hospitality leadership or strong supervisory experience and are ready to keep developing.

You might already be a Duty Manager or Assistant Venue Manager, or you may be a strong Supervisor who has been leading teams and is ready for more responsibility.

We value people who lead from the front, enjoy developing others, understand the realities of a busy hospitality operation and genuinely care about creating great experiences for their teams and guests.

Don't tick every box? Apply anyway.

If the leadership foundations are there, we'd rather have a conversation and learn more about you than have you rule yourself out.

Whether the right next step is Duty Manager, Assistant Venue Manager or a development pathway towards one of those roles, we're interested in finding the right fit.
