About Us
Jane, the sister venue to Surry Hills fine diner Arthur, offers a relaxed and casual take on all-Australian dining. Nestled in the backstreets of Surry Hills, this restaurant and wine bar is celebrated for its exceptional food and thoughtfully curated beverage list. A favourite among locals and visitors alike, Jane provides a lively yet intimate dining experience.

At Jane, we believe in creating memorable moments through thoughtful service and exceptional food — and we’re looking for a passionate Assistant Restaurant Manager to join our team and help lead that experience.

The Opportunity
This role offers the chance to immerse yourself in all aspects of restaurant operations, with a strong focus on service, team development, and day-to-day floor management.

You’ll work closely with our leadership team and kitchen to support smooth, efficient service, foster a positive team culture, and deliver outstanding guest experiences. You’ll also gain exposure to rostering, inventory, supplier relationships, and reporting — giving you a well-rounded foundation for future leadership roles.

We’re committed to developing our team from within, and for the right candidate this position can lead to future growth into a Venue Manager or Operations role. Here's what you can expect:

Deliver Exceptional Guest Experiences

Be Involved Across the Business
In our small, tight-knit team, you’ll be hands-on in every part of the operation — from staff training and floor leadership, to ordering, stock control and daily admin. You’ll have input into how things run and the opportunity to shape systems and service standards.

Room to Grow
We value commitment and initiative. For someone looking to take the next step in their hospitality career, this is an ideal role with clear potential to grow into more senior leadership.

Work in a Close-Knit, Creative Team
Your ideas will be heard and your contributions will matter. We’re a collaborative group that values communication, mutual respect, and attention to detail.
