Duty Manager

Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Christchurch, New Zealand · Full-Time · $25 - $35/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored

Lively venues need someone steady on the floor. A hotel with a beer garden and a restaurant, in a seaside town close to Christchurch, is hiring a permanent full-time Duty Manager who will move between the two venues. Your reporting line goes to the Venue Manager and GM, and your day is spent overseeing operations, guiding the front-of-house team and keeping a quick-moving service calm, because no two days look alike.

This can be a sponsorship role for the right candidate.

Make your duty manager certificate, or your plan to gain it, impossible to miss on your CV, and add the teams you have supervised. Polish a venue-ready CV through Build AI CV and let the busy manager find it fast.

  • Keep both venues running well from one shift to the next
  • Meet the requirements of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 and the licensing rules that go with it
  • Direct the front of house teams, backing outstanding customer service, and handle staffing and bookings so service flows
  • Make the place warm, safe and professional for guests and colleagues alike

  • Background in hospitality management or supervision
  • Great communication skills
  • Leadership and problem-solving skills
