Little Creatures all started with a group of mates. All coming from the beer scene wanting to brew awesome beer with delicious flavours. That's what we are. A group of mates. We work together to provide an open and transparent Brewery experience that welcomes all walks of life to experience a distinctive and iconic hospitality offering.

We are now seeking a vibrant and experienced Venue Manager to lead the charge both front and back of house in our iconic Geelong home. This is a rare opportunity to play a critical part in the business and make a tangible impact. Even more, you'll enjoy a culture focused on personal development, sociability, and wellbeing.

You will have ownership in shaping not the current offering, but the future play, putting your own stamp on growing and developing the Little Creatures Geelong site to the next stage.

Reporting to the Group Operations Manager this hands-on role will see you have full day-to-day accountability for the venue operations, bringing a sense of creativity & flair whilst inspiring your team by leading from the front. It's a given that you will have a passion for beer & food as well as have exceptional in-depth knowledge of current and future hospitality trends.

At Lion, we choose to be a leader in driving inclusion, diversity, and gender parity. We have an ambitious goal to reach at least 40% representation of both men and women in all teams in all areas of the business.
