BDL Group runs two Melbourne CBD venues: Beneath Driver Lane, an underground whisky, blues and cocktail bar, and Baby Driver, a wine, pizza, cocktail and vinyl bar. We're looking for a hands-on coordinator to own our functions and events pipeline, and to build a consistent, engaging social media presence across both venues.

This is a role for someone who is organised, commercially minded and comfortable moving between the front-of-house calendar, the phone, the camera and the inbox.

Key Responsibilities

Functions and Events

- Manage the full functions and events enquiry pipeline, from first contact through to confirmed booking and post-event follow-up
- Respond to enquiries promptly and convert them into bookings
- Coordinate event requirements with the venue teams, including setup, staffing, menus, beverage packages and run sheets
- Maintain accurate records of enquiries, bookings and revenue
- Build and maintain relationships with corporate, private and repeat clients
- Plan and deliver events across both venues, including whisky, wine and music nights

Social Media

- Film and edit short-form content (reels, posts and stories) using Edits and/or CapCut
- Plan and publish content across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook
- Monitor Meta Business Suite for comments and direct messages, and respond or escalate as required
- Keep a consistent brand voice across both venues
- Track basic performance and report on what is working

Music and Online Events





- Work with our external band booker to organise and promote online and live events for music and entertainment
- Coordinate event promotion across social channels and email

Skills and Experience

- Previous experience in hospitality, events, or social media for a hospitality or entertainment business (or similar)
- Hands-on experience with POS systems in a hospitality setting
- Strong written communication, with the ability to write persuasive enquiry responses
- Proficient in Meta Business Suite, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook
- Practical video editing skills using CapCut, Edits or similar apps
- Solid organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
- Comfortable working evenings and weekends in line with event schedules
- Confident using spreadsheets and basic booking or CRM systems
- Creative eye for visual content, with an understanding of what performs on each platform

Desirable

- Experience with Meta Ads Manager. Not essential, as we work with an external agency for campaign builds, but it would set you apart
- Experience with music or live event booking

What We Offer

- Competitive base salary of $72,500 – $77,500, plus 12% superannuation and a quarterly KPI bonus
- Time in lieu for additional hours worked
- A diverse role across events, marketing and live music in a busy, well-established CBD business

Pay: $72,500.00 – $77,500.00 per year
