Pop-Up Bar Manager (Summer Season)

This summer we are offering a unique opportunity to set-up and manage a pop-up bar in the beautiful town of Daylesford. Only an hour and a half from Melbourne and situated in the historical goldfields region, our town is producing some of the best food, produce, wine and drinks our country has to offer. From film-shoots to festivals there is always something exciting happening here.

This role involves running the business as if your own, handling everything from designing menus and curating a standout drinks offering to shaping the aesthetics and ambience of the space. With a 1 AM license already secured, you'll have the chance to set the vibe, create engaging layouts, and cater to both regular operations and a range of events, including the iconic ChillOut Festival, Australia's largest regional LGBTQIA+ pride event.

What We're Looking For:

• Creativity in crafting a drinks menu and developing a unique bar experience.
• A strong hospitality background
• Strong sense of responsibility and a proactive work ethic.
• Ability to work independently and manage all aspects of bar operations.
• Desirable (but not necessary): Experience in brand activations, collaborations, or managing partnerships with other businesses.
• Experience in stocktaking, business finances, and managing busy service periods.

What's in it for You?

• Establish your own brand, profile or gain hands-on experience running a bar.
• Operate within a pre-existing venue with all infrastructure and licensing already in place.
• An opportunity to make some real money
• Ongoing employment opportunities
• Access to great marketing and online databases
• Potential help with relocation
• Be part of Daylesford's dynamic community, known for its festivals, natural beauty, and welcoming spirit.

To Apply: Send your resume and a brief cover letter explaining what you do and why you'd be a good fit for the job. Please be aware that we cannot offer sponsorship, so only persons with full working rights in Australia should apply. Only succesful applicants will be contacted.
