We are searching for a 2IC with deep wine knowledge, strong floor presence, and an uncompromising love of true, ego-free hospitality to join our small, passionate leadership team.

This role will work across both The Woodshed Restaurant and Kin Kin.

This Is for Someone Who…

● Has previous experience in a degustation dining environment

● Has a passion for wine, beverage pairing, and informed, guest-first service

● Brings knowledge of food and a curiosity to keep learning

● Wants to work the floor and contribute every day — not just manage from the sidelines

● Still has that spark — the willingness to give a little piece of yourself to the work

● Loves detail. Cares about the craft behind the product, whether it’s a wine pour or a plate presentation

● Can commit to reasonable additional hours beyond our 4-day venue operation to do the job well

(But that won’t feel like a chore — because you’ll be surrounded by people who are just as obsessed as you are, building something you’ll be proud of).

Key Responsibilities:

● Lead floor service with energy, warmth, and professionalism

● Work directly with the GM and Director on wine list development, producer engagement, and long-term program vision

● Build out our advanced non-alcoholic pairing offering, integral to The Woodshed experience

● Participate in the development of our Wine Club, special events, and potential wine importation initiatives

● Help lead hospitality standards and service culture across both venues

● Become a key part of a young, growing leadership team,

● Be involved in the broader growth of the business — from our future accommodation arm to garden workshops and beyond Hotel, with a primary focus on elevated, informed service and helping shape our growing beverage programs.

What You’ll Get

● A rare opportunity to help shape the beverage and service identity of a rising star venue

● Creative freedom and trust from ownership, with plenty of opportunity to lead

● A schedule anchored around 4-day service weeks, with input into how the business evolves

● A role that stretches from premium wine pairings to hands-on guest connection

● The energy of a tight-knit, talented, and ambitious team

● A life in the stunning Noosa Hinterland — fresh air, slower pace, and a deeply rewarding professional challenge
