About Rockpool

At Rockpool Bar & Grill Sydney, dining is defined by precision, provenance, and fire. Our menu is built around Australia’s finest produce, from industry-leading dry-aged beef program to seafood sourced with integrity, all elevated through our signature wood-fire grill.

Rockpool is part of Hunter St. Hospitality, a group shaping premium and contemporary dining across Australia with a portfolio of iconic and award-winning venues.

The Opportunity
This is not a conventional Assistant Manager role.

You will be a key leader on the floor driving service, shaping team performance, and ensuring every detail aligns with Rockpool’s exacting standards. 

This role suits a hospitality professional who is serious about their craft and ready to operate in a high-performance, premium dining environment.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading service with confidence, presence, and attention to detail
• Supporting the Restaurant Manager in daily operations and team performance
• Coaching and developing a highly skilled front-of-house team
• Maintaining consistency across service, product knowledge, and guest experience
• Upholding the standards that define Rockpool—precision, warmth, and professionalism

What We’re Looking For

• Proven leadership experience in premium or fine dining environments
• A deep respect for hospitality as a craft, not just a job
• Strong service instincts, with the ability to read the floor and lead in real time
• A commitment to detail, consistency, and continuous improvement
• The ability to develop people and build a high-performing team culture
• Current RSA certification
