Assistant Manager (Liquor Retail) – Perth Hills | 25–30+ hours/week
Darlington Liquor and Gourmet
Posted 9 days ago
We run two independent liquor stores in the Perth Hills - both stocked with a curated, ever-evolving range of wines, spirits, beers and liqueurs you won’t find at your average bottle-o. We're all about quality, creativity, and a genuine connection with our customers.
We’re on the lookout for an Assistant Manager to help keep both stores running smoothly. This is a hands-on role: you’ll be doing everything from ordering stock to helping customers discover their new favourite drop. You'll work closely with the GM and senior team across both locations.
There’s potential for this to become a full-time role for the right person. The role includes a 3-month probation period, with the possibility of a pay review depending on performance and how things are tracking.
The Role:
25-30+ hours a week (with some flexibility)
One or two evening shifts a week, depending on your availability
Very occasional weekend cover – only if someone’s away or unwell
Rotating between both stores depending on the needs of the week
Who We’re Looking For:
Retail experience in liquor or a related field - you know your way around POS systems, ordering, invoicing, and stock control
Physically fit and not afraid to get stuck in (you’ll be lifting cartons, moving stock and keeping things running)
Interest in wine, spirits and beer - whether you're a certified nerd or just thirsty to learn
Some marketing or merchandising savvy - someone who notices trends, thinks visually, and wants to make a store feel alive
Friendly, proactive, and reliable - a good human who genuinely wants to help customers and support the team
RSA required, Approved Manager certification preferred
Must have a car and valid driver’s licence
Flexible availability, especially evenings and very occasional weekends
What You'll Be Doing:
Working with senior staff to maintain high customer service standards
Helping with ordering and stock management across multiple suppliers
Entering invoices, managing inventory and tracking sales
Merchandising and promotional planning
Contributing ideas and energy to help both stores grow
Occasionally posting to social media or assisting with marketing projects
Why Work With Us?
We’ve built a great team culture - respectful, supportive, and no egos. We work hard and take pride in what we do, but we also believe in backing each other and enjoying the ride.
You’ll have the chance to:
Taste and learn about wines, beers and spirits from all over the world
Generous staff discount
Be involved in creative decision-making, not just grunt work
Help shape the future of two unique independent stores
Use new tech and tools to push retail forward
If you’re someone who wants more than just a retail job - who’s excited by flavour, ideas, and helping a small business grow - we’d love to hear from you.
