Current positions

Red Rock Venues is seeking an experienced General Manager to lead Ludlow Bar & Dining, our modern riverside gastropub situated on Melbourne’s beautiful Southbank.

About Ludlow Bar & Dining:

Part public bar, part contemporary dining room, Ludlow offers the best of both worlds: a refined Australiana menu alongside classic pub favourites, served across a sprawling 600-capacity venue that hums with energy from lunch to late night.

With spaces spanning a riverside terrace, elegant dining rooms, and a lively public bar, Ludlow has something for everyone, from casual drinks and bar snacks to full venue functions.

Following a change in strong leadership, we’re looking for a General Manager who leads with a heart for hospitality and a head for business — someone who thrives on building and supporting teams, bringing structure to busy environments, and being present when it matters.

This role would suit a leader who’s commercially astute and invested in continuing to drive the momentum of the business, whilst maintaining and exceeding clear standards across service, people and performance.

This is a hands-on role requiring presence on the floor, confidence in decision-making, and the ability to lead calmly through busy service periods, large functions and peak trade.

About You:

You’re an experienced hospitality leader who has managed large, high-volume venues and understands the balance between people leadership and commercial outcomes.

• You lead with care, but not at the expense of clarity.
• You value consistency, follow-through and presence.
• You understand that culture is built through expectations and support — not noise.

Key Responsibilities:

• Overall leadership of venue operations
• Recruitment, development and retention of staff
• Building and supporting a strong management structure
• Oversight of functions and major service periods
• Wage control, budgeting and financial performance
• Compliance, safety and operational standards
• Collaboration with the Red Rock Operations and Marketing Teams

About Red Rock Venues:

At Red Rock, we talk a lot about having a heart for hospitality and a head for business. That means genuinely enjoying the work of hosting people and supporting teams, while also understanding that strong venues rely on clear expectations, good judgement and consistent decision-making.
