Event Cinemas Carindale - Gold Class Manager
About the Role
As the Gold Class Manager, you're much more than a venue supervisor. You're the host of one of Brisbane's most premium entertainment experiences.
From welcoming guests into the lounge with genuine warmth, to leading a high-performing team delivering exceptional food and beverage service, you'll be responsible for creating memorable moments that keep guests coming back. Every shift is about bringing together luxury cinema, hospitality excellence, and a fun, energetic team culture.
You'll lead from the front, coaching your team to deliver outstanding service while ensuring the Gold Class operation runs smoothly, efficiently, and to the highest standards. Whether it's a sold-out blockbuster premiere, an exclusive corporate event, or a date night experience, you'll ensure every guest feels like a VIP.
If you're passionate about hospitality, love developing people, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.

The Gold Class Manager Difference
The best Gold Class Managers are natural hosts. They're equally comfortable pouring a glass of wine, coaching a team member, resolving a guest concern, managing stock, or jumping into service during a busy Friday night rush.
They don't just manage operations. They create experiences. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
