Assistant Manager

**Company Overview**

Nemesis is a hospitality driven, specialty coffee company composed of highly dedicated baristas, chefs and creatives. We utilize our pursuit of passion, and the spaces we explore them in, as a catalyst to build community and create culture.

We have cultivated a working environment that encourages and empowers all team members to constantly challenge their own status quo; to broaden existing skills, deepen knowledge and contribute in new and exciting ways as we strive forward. As a team, we want to nurture this environment by bringing in people who share our passions and have a genuine want to push the boundaries in all aspects of the business alongside us.

**Summary**

As an Assistant Manager, you have room to grow, or step in strong.

We’re on the lookout for a driven, curious, and service-minded hospitality professional to join our team at Nemesis Coffee Central—someone ready to take the next step in their career and learn what it takes to become a successful General Manager.

This role is designed for someone who may not yet have deep management experience, but brings the right instincts, behaviours, and desire to lead. You’ll begin by working closely with our acting GM, learning the day-to-day operations as an Assistant Manager, while receiving hands-on training in both service and coffee where needed.

As you grow into the role, you’ll take on more leadership responsibilities and begin demonstrating readiness to step up as the site’s next General Manager. The timeline for that transition will be performance-based and discussed further during interviews or trials.

At Nemesis, we’re passionate about growth and development. We invest in people who show:

- A natural attention to detail
- A warmth and care for both guests and team
- A sharp instinct for what makes a place best-in-class

**1. Value Alignment and Personalized Service**

You embrace our collective principles, values, and guiding philosophies and can deliver them through the uniqueness of your own personality and experience, allowing for more genuine hospitality and connection with our guests.

**2. Attention to Detail & Curiosity**

You demonstrate an innate awareness of the finer details that make higher level hospitality appear seamless and extraordinary, fuelled by a genuine curiosity for the “why” and “how” of what you do.

**3. Work Ethic & Proactivity**

You showcase a work ethic that prioritizes the success of the team over oneself. You are proactive, have your eyes on the room, and exhibit a guest-focused attitude that not only enhances guest experience, but supports and empowers those working alongside you.

**4. Attitude & Demeanour**

You possess a warm, positive, and appreciative demeanour towards guests and colleagues. This fosters trust, respect, and encourages collaborative efforts with every interaction to continue pushing the bounds of product and hospitality excellence.
