Lead the team at one of Surry Hills' favourite neighbourhood restaurants
About Us
Jane, the sister venue to Arthur, is a neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar offering a relaxed and refined take on Australian dining.
Tucked away in the backstreets of Surry Hills, Jane is known for its ingredient-led menu, thoughtful wine and cocktail program, and genuine hospitality.
We're looking for a capable and committed Restaurant Manager to join our small team and play a key role in the continued development of the restaurant.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to become an key part of a small, hands-on team and have a genuine influence on the way Jane operates and feels.
You'll be the person leading the room day to day — working closely with the team to create warm, confident and considered service, while making sure the restaurant runs smoothly behind the scenes.
From building a solid team culture and developing your staff, to managing the flow of service and working closely with the kitchen, you'll have plenty of opportunity to make your mark.
We're also looking for someone with a genuine interest in wine and cocktails.
Jane has a considered but approachable beverage offering, and this role will give you the opportunity to have an active hand in shaping it — helping to curate the wine list, develop seasonal cocktails, work with suppliers and build the team's knowledge along the way.
You'll work closely with the Head Chef and owners, with plenty of opportunity to contribute ideas and improve the way we do things.




Whether that's refining a service, introducing a new wine, developing a cocktail, improving a roster or finding a better way to look after the team, we want someone who enjoys being involved and taking initiative.
It's a role for someone who enjoys the balance of hospitality, leadership and creativity — someone who wants to be part of a restaurant rather than simply manage one.
The Role
Lead the floor and set the standard for service
Build a positive and engaged team culture through training, mentoring and strong day-to-day leadership
Manage rosters, bookings and guest communications
Work closely with the Head Chef and owners on menus, service and the ongoing development of the restaurant
Contribute to the curation of the wine list and development of the cocktail offering
Manage beverage ordering, stock and invoices
Maintain venue presentation and compliance standards
Be present and engaged with guests, ensuring a warm and thoughtful experience
What We're Looking For
2-3 years' experience in restaurant management or a senior FOH role
A genuine interest in wine and cocktails
A confident, hands-on approach to service
Robust communication and organisational skills
Someone who enjoys leading, training and supporting a team
Someone who is curious, takes initiative and wants to contribute ideas
A person who cares about the details and takes pride in creating a great guest experience
Please note, sponsorship is not available for this position.
