Da Orazio is a family of three Sydney Italian venues: Ristorante, Trattoria and Pasticceria. Each has its own identity, its own regulars and its own Instagram. Founded by Orazio, we are known for (one line on the food, the room and the welcome).

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Social Media Manager to own our channels across all three venues. You will work directly with Orazio, our founder, and our General Manager. Some days you will pitch the idea; other days you will take Orazio's vision and make it real, on camera and in the edit.

This is a hands-on role. You will plan it, shoot it, cut it, write it and post it. The role is open as full time or part time, with at least 3 days per week on site at our venues.

What you'll do

Build and run a content strategy for each venue: goals, audience, content pillars and tone of voice

Generate original content ideas, and turn Orazio's ideas into finished posts and reels

Shoot photo and video in venue on iPhone, DSLR/mirrorless camera and video kit, from lo-fi behind-the-scenes to polished atmosphere and food content

Edit high-quality reels and short-form video for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok

Write captions and copy in each venue's voice

Plan, schedule and publish a rolling content calendar for all three venues

Manage the community: comments, DMs and reviews

Plan and run paid social campaigns on Meta (and TikTok where it fits) to drive bookings and foot traffic, including weekday and lunch trade

Keep design templates and brand guidelines consistent (Canva or Adobe)

Write and send monthly EDMs to our database

Report monthly on reach, engagement,



follower growth and bookings, and act on what the numbers show

Brief and art-direct any outside photographers or videographers when we bring them in

About you

(3+) years managing social media, ideally in hospitality, food, lifestyle or a creative agency

Fluent in Instagram and Facebook (including Meta Business Suite and Ads Manager); TikTok experience highly regarded

A portfolio of reels and short-form video you shot and edited yourself

Confident across several editing tools, for example CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Lightroom and Canva

A strong eye for food, light and atmosphere, and solid photography skills

A self-starter with your own ideas, who also enjoys realising someone else's creative vision

Organised enough to run three brands' calendars at once

Clear, warm copywriting; Italian language skills a bonus

Comfortable with flexible hours to capture service, events and weekend trade

Equipment

You will need your own kit: a current iPhone (or equivalent), a DSLR or mirrorless camera, video gear (lighting, gimbal, audio) and editing software. (Optional: we offer an equipment allowance of $X per month.).

What we offer

Hybrid: 3 days on site, the rest remote (adjust if full time is 4–5 days on site)

Direct access to the founder and real creative ownership of three brands

Staff dining and discounts across all three venues

(Other perks: career development budget, phone allowance, etc.).

Da Orazio is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants of all backgrounds.
