We're looking for our new assistant manager. You will need a VIC drivers license and access to your own vehicle to be a successful applicant. (Free parking & other reimbursements are obviously available!) Adequate wine, cocktail and food knowledge is paramount. Previous experience in any type of management role required, too.
Glou is a bar and wine store in Collingwood. We exclusively work with Australian producers (wine, spirits, beer, produce) and with circular economy in mind. Having worked with wine previously and relevant wine knowledge is a must, but formal qualification is not needed. You should have solid cocktail experience and some skill and interest in food, as we are currently extending our food offering.
Hospitality, as we all know, is a line of work that often takes place when everyone else is playing or already in bed - but as we are all seasoned hospitality professionals, we know that everyone needs a weekend off here and there; we always make that work with notice. This role is performed on a Wed-Sun roster with a mix of day & evening shifts.
Glou is owner-operator run, so we believe in flat hierarchies - we are all colleagues on shift. We've got each other's backs and get stuff done - together.
What we’ve got to offer:
What the role demands:
Part-timer excellence and weekend hero. Very gifted musician who owns exactly one belt. He also happens to be our vibe manager - which means he’s in charge of music when everyone else runs out of ideas. Beyond that, he shakes cocktails like no one else in the team and stays cooler than a frozen cucumber under pressure.
Voted ‘Kindest man alive’ several times by the rest of the team. A creative through and through, engaged, ambitious and a future psychotherapist. Avid Sunday rally attendee and former bar owner in Aotearoa. He charms patrons like no one else does.
Our brand new supervisor, who we're still getting to know ourselves, but already loving their music curation and their excellent sense of style. They are a longstanding hospitality professional, with food plating skills that resemble those of a hatted chef!
Our Head of Multitasking aka Operations Manager, mostly found in an unending battle with one of her six inboxes, painting a wall for a third time or coming up with a new version of ‘the-five-year-plan’. Part-time student but also charms patrons from behind the bar with her wild part-german part-aussie accent three times a week.
Our in-house wannabe tradie - also happens to be our wine buyer. Highly decorated somm with a long standing career in wine and fine dining before he decided he wants to make things with his hands. So if he's not out curating our list or tasting wines, he's either fixing something or making furniture in his shared studio in Brunswick.
