Assetlink is launching an exciting new venture and is seeking an experienced Venue Manager to lead operations at a brand new, purpose-built facility currently under construction at the iconic Powerhouse Parramatta.
This is a rare opportunity to help bring one of Sydney's most significant new cultural destinations to life. Working in collaboration with the NSW Government, this flagship venue will host a dynamic calendar of events, functions and experiences once its doors open.
We're looking for a confident and capable operational leader who can deliver hotel-level presentation and service standards at scale, while managing a large and diverse workforce in a high-profile, high-visibility environment.
As Venue Manager, you will take full operational ownership of the site, leading a team of more than 50 cleaning and housekeeping professionals to deliver exceptional standards across daily operations and major events.
From pre-opening planning through to live event delivery, you will play a critical role in shaping the team, building operational systems, and ensuring the venue launches with excellence. This role requires a hands‐on leader who thrives in fast‐paced environments and understands how to operate within a government partnership framework.
You'll help build the operation from the ground up — establishing processes, setting standards and creating a team culture that delivers consistently outstanding results.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead, manage and inspire a workforce of 50+ cleaning and housekeeping team members
* Recruit, onboard and develop staff to deliver premium, hotel-level presentation standards
* Ensure operational readiness for events, including pre-event preparation and post-event turnaround
* Implement quality assurance programs, inspections and service standards
* Manage workforce planning, rosters, productivity and performance
* Work closely with stakeholders, contractors and government representatives during the construction and commissioning phase
* Drive a strong culture of safety, accountability and service excellence
About You
* Minimum 5 years' experience in hotel or venue operations, ideally in senior housekeeping, rooms division or operational leadership
* Proven ability to manage large teams (50+ staff) in fast-paced environments
* Experience working within government, public sector or highly regulated environments is highly regarded
* Strong background in events, hospitality or high-volume service environments
* Experience supporting pre-opening or newly launched venues will be highly valued
* Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
* A confident and resilient leader who remains calm under pressure

* Be part of the launch of the new Powerhouse Parramatta
* Work in partnership with the NSW Government on a landmark cultural destination
