Theory Bar is on the lookout for an experienced hospitality professional ready to step up into a full time leadership role as our Assistant Venue Manager.

The Role

As the Assistant Venue Manager, you’ll work closely with the Venue Manager to ensure smooth day-to-day operations, drive revenue, and support an established positive team culture.

This hands-on role will require a balance of leadership, operational expertise, and a genuine passion for hospitality.

As a live comedy and events venue you will frequently be responsible for audio visual set up, pack down, maintenance and troubleshooting – prior AV tech experience is appreciated, but an a willingness to learn would do in a pinch.

There are plenty of bars in our laneway who serve a good drink (ourselves included), but we're primarily known for our warmth, personality and fostering of a loyal community of regulars. Being able to foster a sense of community and connection is essential.

Key Responsibilities
  • Managing daily operations, including opening/closing/cleaning and maintenance procedures
  • Support staff recruitment, training, and rosters
  • Maintain strong standards of service and guest satisfaction
  • Oversee stock control, ordering and logistics
  • Ensure compliance with licensing, health, and safety regulations
  • Step into the Venue Manager role when required (such as when they take annual leave)
About You

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Proven experience in a leadership role within the hospitality industry – barring that, a solid industry recommendation that you're ready to move up from a non-leadership role.
  • A solid understanding of bar operations and cocktails.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
  • A proactive, hands-on approach to management. This is not an office manager role.
  • The ability to motivate and inspire an established team.
  • Current RSA.
  • First aid certificate and/or audio visual qualification highly desirable.
