Job Description
Since 1936, The Prince has stood as an iconic Melbourne landmark. From its grand Art Deco beginnings, it has continuously evolved alongside the city’s culture — from hosting the US military in the 1940s, to becoming a cornerstone of Melbourne’s LGBTQIA+ scene in the 1970s, and a home for punk and counterculture in the 1980s. Following a striking restoration in the 1990s, The Prince emerged as a symbol of Melbourne’s culinary renaissance with the opening of its celebrated restaurant, Circa.
Today, The Prince boasts three unique levels, each offering its own distinct atmosphere, making it a truly versatile and dynamic venue — and one like no other.
As Venue Manager, you will play a pivotal and hands-on role in bringing this iconic venue to life each day. You’ll oversee the smooth and efficient operation of the hotel, lead and inspire a passionate team, and build strong relationships with guests and local suppliers alike. With a focus on exceptional service and memorable experiences, you’ll help shape the next chapter of The Prince’s story.
What's on Offer:
Generous Salary package $95,000 - $115,000 + superannuation
Quarterly KPI Bonus $44,000
Discount across 200+ venues in Aus/NZ
Relocation assistance available for the right candidate
Opportunity to be part of a professional and well-known hospitality team
Autonomous role with excellent company support
Exceptional team culture

3+ years in a Venue Manager role
Understanding and ability of venue reporting on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis
Presence on the floor during peak service periods, including late nights and weekends
P&L understanding and ability to deep dive into financials to analyze where there is opportunity to grow your business
Ability to generate revenue-building ideas throughout all aspects of the business
Write and control an effective roster for both front-of-house and back-of-house
