* Ensuring strict compliance with all relevant liquor licensing and health and safety regulations
What we're looking for
* Proven experience managing a similar pub, hotel or hospitality venue
* RSA certified and familiar with Victorian liquor licensing requirements
* Experience managing a team, stock and basic P&L
* Commercially sharp — you understand what drives revenue and how to control costs
* A self-starter who can operate with autonomy and take ownership of outcomes
* A people person who genuinely enjoys being the face of a local pub
* Someone from Beaufort, Ballarat, Ararat or the surrounding region preferred
What we offer
* $70,000–$80,000 salary, negotiable based on experience
* Performance bonus tied to venue results
* Option to buy into the business for the right person
