Up to $80,000 per year + super + overtime

We’re looking for a manager to take the lead at our brand new store in Ascot which is opening this summer.

This is a great role for a restaurant, venue or hospitality manager who loves the energy of busy service and wants to work for a business that’s constantly growing and creating new things — while keeping the personality and sense of fun that’s been part of Messina for nearly 25 years.

The role

Our stores are fast-paced and a little bit different. From the freshly-churned gelato that’s achieved cult-like status to the music to the people behind the counter, we want every customer who walks through the door to have a great experience.

You’ll have ownership of the day-to-day operation of the store and, most importantly, the team that makes it all happen.

You’ll be responsible for:

- Recruiting and training a new team of outstanding people
- Creating a fun and inclusive team culture
- Maintaining the quality of our delicious gelato
- Working closely with the broader Messina family (marketing, production, operations and logistics)

Who we’re looking for

You’re an experienced hospitality or retail manager who is confident leading a busy venue and genuinely enjoys managing people. You’ll be organised, commercially switched on and calm when things get hectic — but you’ll also know that a excellent workplace should be fun.





You must have full Australian work rights.

Solid communication skills are essential, because all of our people need to feel supported and enjoy coming to work.

Why Messina?

Nearly 25 years on, Messina is still a family-owned Australian business. We’ve grown a lot, but we’re still hands‑on, we still make everything ourselves, and we’re always working on what’s next. It means there’s plenty happening behind the scenes — and plenty of opportunity to build a career with us.

You’ll get:

- Up to $80,000 + super, with all overtime paid
- A permanent role with a rotating roster and genuine flexibility
- Good work-life balance — although evenings and weekends are part of hospitality
- Generous staff discounts and, obviously, plenty of free gelato
- Leadership development and real opportunities to progress as the business grows

We’d love to hear from you.

Over the past 24 years, Gelato Messina has grown from a single gelato store in Sydney into a primary producer and manufacturer of exceptional gelato, weird and wonderful gelato cakes, couverture chocolate, bespoke event creations and super cool merch. Today, we have 36 retail stores across Australia and overseas, all selling what we do best.
