Welcommé Group runs two of Melbourne's most distinct venues.
Golden Fleece Hotel in South Melbourne is where people celebrate their biggest moments: weddings, milestone birthdays, hens and corporate Christmas parties.
Republic Economica in South Yarra is the late-night institution, with $9 pasta, $9 negronis and DJs every night.
Demand isn't the problem.
Around 40 function enquiries a week reach Golden Fleece alone, and the Christmas **** book is already full.
What we need is a closer.
We're looking for a Group Bookings Manager who has sold functions somewhere good, treats every enquiry as a sales conversation, and doesn't count a booking until the deposit has landed.
What You'll Own
Every function and group enquiry across both venues: inboxes, web forms, phone, SevenRooms, walk-ins and referrals
Speed to reply: a first real answer within four hours, qualified on the first message
Proposals, follow-up and close: tailored packages, pay-links, and a phone call over a long email thread
Deposits and final payments: one live deposit list for the group, chased daily
Event briefs for every function, and hosting clients on the night through the peak
Filling the right dates: early-week December, January to March, and a new midweek functions offer at Republic Economica




Corporate accounts: re-signing this year's Christmas clients for **** and prospecting new ones
Weekly reporting to the Directors on enquiries, conversion, deposits and lost reasons
What We're Looking For
2+ years in hospitality sales, functions or events in a high-volume venue
A proven closer who follows up, negotiates and doesn't accept a no without trying again
Confident on the phone and in person, and quick to build rapport with brides, hosts and corporate clients
Data-literate: you track every enquiry, deposit and outcome without being asked
Working knowledge of SevenRooms or similar, Gmail, Stripe and Google Sheets
Available for Saturday functions and major events through November and December
Current Victorian RSA, or able to obtain one within your first month
What You'll Get
Market-competitive salary, with the package negotiable based on experience
A direct reporting line to the Directors
Real ownership: success is measured in paid deposits and delivered functions, and you'll be recognised for hitting them
Two venues with demand already coming in the door.
Your job is to convert it, not create it.
