HUMBLE Bakery is looking for a warm, capable and hands-on Assistant Manager to join our team.

Part of the Porteño Group, HUMBLE is a busy neighbourhood bakery known for great bread, pastries, sandwiches and coffee, alongside our take on nostalgic Australian bakery classics - including our now renowned finger bun, named Australia's Best Finger Bun .

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys hospitality and working with people - someone who can lead from the floor, build relationships with our regulars and support our amazing Manager in keeping the shop running smoothly.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced hospitality person who is an experienced supervisor ready to take the next step or an existing Assistant Manager looking to join an established, independent hospitality group.

- A willingness to be hands-on and work alongside the team
