Bars Manager – Exclusive Club, Southern Africa

Our client operates a very exclusive members Club with several food outlets covering fine dining through to casual lifestyle. In addition, the Club offers a variety of bar venues, and they now require a young, polished, dynamic Bars Manager to bring some high energy to the property – this is a great opportunity for someone who is perhaps currently managing an edgy cocktail venue and now wants to step up and take on a bigger project.

The ideal candidate will be in tune with the latest beverage trends and will come out of the stand alone restaurant and bar segments having an extensive mixology background coupled with good wine and spirit knowledge - Creativity, enthusiasm and passion are the key ingredients ! The Club hosts many exciting events, so prior conference and banqueting exposure would be a big plus. The role requires an extremely outgoing personality with great guest contact skills, as he/she will be interacting continually with the high-end clientele across all outlets.

Overseeing a team of 20, candidates must be used to managing a multicultural team sensitively and effectively, and ongoing training and mentoring is central to the success of the department. The role is extremely hands-on working closely with the team on a day-to-day basis and due to the size of the property candidates must be fit and healthy.

The salary offered is up to US$2,300 net of tax per month depending on experience plus accommodation, meals, medical cover and annual flight home.
