Venue Manager | Multi-outlet Hospitality Operation

n

Lead a thriving hospitality operation where no two days are the same.

n

The Fresh Collective is seeking an experienced, hands-on Venue Manager to lead our food and beverage operations at Strathfield Golf Club.

If you're the type of manager who naturally spots problems before anyone else, builds strong teams and rolls up your sleeves when service gets busy, we'd love to hear from you.
