Duty Manager

We’re looking for an engaging, proactive, and people-focused Duty Manager to help us deliver unforgettable experiences at The Pride – one of Aotearoa’s most iconic breweries and home to some of New Zealand’s favourite beverages.

This is a permanent, full-time role with a core Tuesday–Friday roster, plus the occasional Saturday to support events. It’s a hands-on, varied position where no two days are the same – from running smooth bar service to supporting events, and even jumping in on a bit of behind-the-scenes admin.

As our Duty Manager, you’ll be the go-to person on shift – keeping things running smoothly and ensuring everyone who walks through the door has a top-notch experience.

You’ll be:

• Overseeing bar operations and keeping us well-stocked
• Managing appropriate spend behind the bar
• Changing kegs and cleaning beer lines
• Coordinating and running on-site events
• Managing bookings and creating a safe, welcoming vibe
• Supporting food preparation and maintaining bar presentation
• Looking after guests and creating an environment people want to come back to
• Pitching in with admin tasks and general venue support as needed

What you’ll bring:

• At least 1 years’ experience in hospitality management (any experience in event planning or management would be a bonus!)
• A current Duty Manager’s licence
• Confident leadership and communication skills
• Passion for food, drinks, and delivering memorable customer experiences
• Flexibility, initiative, and a positive, can-do attitude

Why join us?

• Access to leadership training and learning opportunities
• Career development across our wider Lion network
• A supportive, fun-loving team who take pride in what they do
• Generous product allowance

The Pride is one of the largest breweries in New Zealand and we’re proud to craft more than just great beverages – we’re building brilliant careers and unforgettable hospitality experiences too.
