Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Canberra, ACT, Australia · Full-Time · $80,000 - $95,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored

Kabayan, if you have spent years making weddings and big functions run smoothly, this Canberra opening could be your next chapter. A much-loved venue there, known for elegant high tea as well as weddings and corporate events, is looking for a Restaurant Manager.

You would not be managing one corner of the business.

Most of the work happens on nights and weekends. Good news for applicants abroad, sponsorship is available.

Give your CV the same care you give a bride on her big day: list the receptions, gala dinners and corporate events you led, and the teams you trained. Prepare a polished events manager CV with Build AI CV and apply with confidence.
