Behind the Hire | Senior Leadership Team | Melbourne

Recently, Hastings People partnered with a leading hospitality group to appoint both a General Manager and Assistant General Manager for a newly renovated entertainment venue in Melbourne.

With ambitions to create a destination combining hospitality, live entertainment and community, the business needed a leadership team that understood Melbourne's nightlife culture and could help shape the venue's next chapter.

Leading the search, Phil Gannon identified two hospitality professionals whose experience and skill sets complemented one another.

The appointed General Manager brought more than 20 years of experience across Melbourne's entertainment venues, premium hotels and creative hospitality concepts, with a proven ability to build loyal communities, develop high-performing teams and lead complex operations.

The Assistant General Manager brought strong operational and commercial experience, alongside a genuine passion for live music, event programming and team development. Their background managing high-volume venues and live entertainment made them a natural fit for the business.

Together, they offered the balance of experience, creativity and hands-on leadership needed to help bring the venue's vision to life.

These placements reinforce that great hospitality recruitment is about more than matching experience to a job description. It is about understanding the vision behind a business and identifying the right people to bring it to life.
