At MAMAS Dining Group, we believe a great restaurant experience starts long before the first dish reaches the table. It's the lighting, the atmosphere, the little details and the way a space makes people feel.

We're looking for an experienced Interior Designer to help shape the next chapter of MAMAS Dining Group.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your days designing concepts that never leave the drawing board. You'll have genuine creative ownership, the opportunity to see your ideas come to life and a direct influence on the spaces thousands of Melburnians experience every week.

About us:

MAMAS Dining Group is the team behind some of Melbourne's favourite hospitality destinations, including Hochi Mama, Kiss & Tell, Straight Outta Saigon, Suzie Q, Windsor Wine Room, DISUKO and Spaghetti Club.

Each venue has its own personality, energy and story. That's something we're incredibly proud of, and something we want to continue building on.

As we evolve our existing venues and look towards what's next, we're ready to bring our design capability in-house.

The opportunity

Working directly with our CEO and alongside our operations, marketing and venue leadership teams, you'll take ownership of the look, feel and functionality of our spaces.

From developing concepts for new restaurants to refreshing established venues, you'll play a hands-on role from the very first idea through to the final installation.

Here's where you'll make your mark:

- Create spaces with personality: Develop distinctive design concepts, mood boards, layouts, materials and finishes that bring each venue's identity to life.

- Own the journey:



Lead interior design projects from initial concept through to fit-out, installation and handover.

- Make design work commercially: Balance creativity with budgets, durability, operational flow and the realities of a busy hospitality environment.

- Build strong partnerships: Work with architects, builders, suppliers, trades and our internal teams to turn excellent ideas into finished spaces.

- Keep us evolving: Identify opportunities to improve and refresh existing venues, ensuring our spaces continue to look and feel their best.

Who we're looking for

You're a creative thinker, but you're also someone who knows how to get things done.

You understand that beautiful design is only one part of the equation. The best hospitality spaces also need to function for the people working in them, stand up to a busy Saturday night and make commercial sense.

Ideally, you'll bring:

- At least 3 years' experience in commercial interior design, with hospitality, retail or similar projects under your belt.

- A portfolio of completed projects that demonstrates your creativity and ability to deliver.

- Strong technical skills across AutoCAD or Revit, SketchUp and Adobe Creative Suite.





- Experience working with contractors, suppliers, budgets and project timelines.

- An understanding of commercial fit-outs, compliance and materials.

- The confidence to own projects, communicate ideas and work with a range of stakeholders.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who loves hospitality, understands what makes a venue special and is excited by the opportunity to create something memorable.

Why MAMAS?

- Real creative ownership. Your ideas won't just sit in a presentation. You'll have the opportunity to bring them to life across an established and evolving hospitality group.

- Variety that keeps things interesting. No two MAMAS venues are the same, which means no two design projects will be either.

- A seat at the table. You'll work directly with the people making the decisions, giving you genuine influence over our venues and future projects.

- Flexibility and balance. A hybrid role combining office-based work, venue visits and time on-site as projects come to life.

- A team that loves what they do. You'll be joining a passionate hospitality group, with staff dining benefits and opportunities for professional development.

Let's create something great.

If you're ready to move beyond individual projects and take ownership of an entire hospitality group's design journey, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and portfolio, showing us the spaces you've brought to life and a little about what inspires your approach to design.

We'd love to see what you could bring to MAMAS.
