Lead One of Melbourne's Most Exciting Hospitality Venues

Morris House is a unique, four-level CBD venue and a standout destination within Australian Venue Co.

We're on the lookout for an experienced hospitality leader to take the reins of this high-volume, multi-faceted operation — a venue that offers real scope, real energy, and a genuine platform to grow your career.

If you thrive on pace, love a challenge, and want a venue where every level brings something different, this could be the role for you.

What's on Offer

  • OTE $139,000–$149,000 (base salary + Super + KPI bonus)
  • The opportunity to lead a landmark, multi-level CBD venue with strong turnover and a talented team
  • Genuine influence over floor performance, team culture and guest experience
  • Backed by the support, training and career pathways of one of Australia's largest hospitality groups
  • A high-impact leadership role where hard work and results are recognized and rewarded

About the Venue

Morris House is a unique four-level CBD venue combining a bustling dining room, vibrant rooftop, live music, Melbourne's premier comedy venue, and a thriving functions and events business. Located on the corner of Exhibition and Little Collins Street, the venue delivers high-volume trade, standout entertainment and memorable guest experiences under one roof.

About You

We're looking for a Venue Manager who leads from the front, sets the pace on the floor, and knows how to dig into the data to drive real results.

You will bring:

  • 3+ years' experience in a senior hospitality leadership role, ideally within a high-volume venue
  • Experience across food & beverage, functions and events
  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to set the pace for your team
  • Commercial awareness and a genuine data-driven approach to performance
  • A passion for delivering great guest experiences

Not Quite Ticking Every Box?

If you're currently a Venue Manager in a smaller operation and looking for genuine career progression, we'd love to hear from you.

Equally, if you're an experienced Assistant Venue Manager or Duty Manager from a large, high-volume venue who feels ready to take the next step, we encourage you to apply.

While this opportunity is for the Morris House, it may not be the only leadership role we have available. We're always looking for talented hospitality leaders who are serious about building a long-term career with Australian Venue Co.

We believe in promoting from within, investing in our people, and creating clear pathways into senior leadership positions for those with the ambition, capability and drive to succeed.

Why Australian Venue Co.?

At Australian Venue Co., we believe in promoting from within and backing our people with real development opportunities. Working across a network of iconic venues, our leaders get genuine career pathways, strong operational support, and the chance to work alongside some of the best in the industry.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
