About the Opportunity

Bert’s is a brand-new coastal bar and pub set to open in the heart of City Beach, offering stunning ocean views, fresh local produce, and a relaxed, energetic atmosphere that captures the spirit of WA’s beachside lifestyle. With a strong focus on great food, quality drinks, and warm, genuine service, Bert’s is designed to become a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike.

This is a rare opportunity to step into the Venue Manager role from day one, helping to shape the venue’s culture, build a passionate team, and lead one of Perth’s most exciting new openings. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love creating memorable guest experiences, and want to leave your mark on a venue with serious potential—Bert’s is calling.
