Assistant Manager | Balaclava Hotel

About The Role

The Balaclava Hotel is a St Kilda East institution and a high volume hub that's always in the thick of the action. This is a fast paced, multi departmental operation featuring a high capacity Family Bistro, a significant Gaming offering, and a legendary Sports Bar that is a local go to for TAB and live racing. Known for its grit, character, and deep community roots, the Balaclava requires an Assistant Manager who is street smart, operationally focused, and thrives in a high traffic workplace. If you're a hands on leader who can manage a diverse floor and lead a team with energy and confidence, this is the place to make your mark.
