Assistant Venue Manager Recruitment, Melbourne
An Assistant Venue Manager needs to be ready to run the floor solo when required, while also supporting a Venue Manager's systems and standards day to day. We look for people on a clear trajectory toward full venue leadership.
What we look for in an Assistant Venue Manager
The right AVM is already doing parts of the top job. We look for evidence of that, not just time on the floor.
How we screen-
Runs full shifts solo
An AVM should already own the outcome of a shift on their own, not just be present on the floor. We want someone the venue can trust with a full service.
How we checkReferees confirm how often they ran shifts alone and how those shifts went.
-
Makes the call under pressure
Things go wrong mid-service and waiting for sign-off is not an option. We look for someone who decides, acts and owns it afterwards.
How we checkWe ask for a specific moment they made a call without a manager present.
-
Exposure to rosters and cost
They don't need to own the budget yet, but they should have built rosters or watched costs closely. That is the bridge to the top job.
How we checkWe ask what they have contributed to rosters, ordering or cost control.
-
Heading for the top job
The right AVM wants to be a Venue Manager, and is building toward it. That drive is what makes them worth investing in.
How we checkWe test their ambition against their record so far, and ask referees whether they see it too.
