About Rockpool

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.

- 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
