​

We are searching for a like-minded team player to come on board at a management level to run all aspects of the front-of-house operations of our brewery. 

​

Reporting directly to Ali and Chalky (Business Owners/Directors), you will be working alongside our Head Brewer and Head Chef to ensure that the Wild Hop experience is achieved.

 

We run a pretty flat hierarchy here… and we all chip in and work together to get the job done. Therefore, you cannot be afraid to get your hands dirty. You will be expected to coordinate daily tavern management operations and deliver superior food and beverage service to maximize customer satisfaction.

​

You must have an interest in batch brewing and be willing to learn about the wide and revolving range of beers that our brewery team produces. You must also have a strong passion for working with other local producers, and hold genuine enthusiasm for the type of menu that the Wild Hop kitchen offers. 

​

There will be opportunities to work on creating beer focused events - beer launches/festivals; ticketed dinners, for example. However, we are broadly a day-time venue (no weddings!), trading 7 days a week from 10.45am to 6pm. With fixed venue operating hours, this position offers not only a competitive salary package, but also a great work/life balance... No split shifts, and no late nights.
