About the Role We're looking for a Venue Manager to take full ownership of the day-to-day operation of the Starship Fleet.

You'll work closely with our Head of Hospitality, Head Chef, Head of Charters and General Manager to shape the product, drive innovation, and keep Sydney Harbour's most sought-after cruise experience ahead of the pack.

building a crew that takes pride in the guest experience The standard — partnering with our Head Chef to make sure every event lands exactly as promised The numbers — smart rostering and stock management that protects the guest experience without blowing the budget The culture — working alongside fellow Venue Managers to keep hospitality standards and morale sky-high across the fleet About You You have experience managing a high-volume hospitality or events venue — think cruise, function centre, hotel banqueting or similar — and you know what it takes to deliver under pressure without dropping standards.
You're a genuine leader, the kind who trains and mentors a floor team and gets the best out of them on a big night.
You're commercially sharp too, just as comfortable owning labour costs and stock levels as you are chasing onboard revenue.
You'll come with a current First Aid Certificate and RSA (or be willing to obtain them), plus NSW Approved Licensee Manager accreditation or eligibility to get it.
