Bar Manager & Content Creator in Melbourne

Melbourne Full-Time On-site

Madonna Electric is a Brunswick pizza restaurant with an Italo-Australian soul, a loyal following, and a bar that deserves someone who'll actually push it forward β€” not just maintain it.

We're after an experienced bar professional to take full charge of the bar, Thursday to Monday, and bring a genuine level of craft and consistency to service, recipes, and stock. Alongside that, you'll spend part of your week helping us create content and bring our paid social advertising in-house.

This is a full-time, salaried role β€” not a casual shift gig. If you're looking for your next long-term home in hospitality, not a stopgap, we want to hear from you.
