Being the first indoor trampoline centre in Australia, BOUNCE Glen Iris has hosted thousands of kids parties and countless amounts of jumpers, and is also home to the famous BOUNCE X-Park obstacle course.
Reporting to the Regional Manager, the Venue Manager will be responsible for the operational performance of a standalone venue, ensuring that each of the 1 million+ customers annually have an exceptional experience.

A passion for people and strong team leadership experience is required, ideally having managed young people aged 16-24.

You may already have experience as a manager in a like-sized organisation or be ready for your next career step into this leadership role.
