Assistant Night Manager

Discover Sofitel Sydney Wentworth – Where Heritage Meets Modern Luxury

Sofitel Sydney Wentworth blends classic European style with the warmth and polish of Sofitel luxury. Our 436 rooms and suites, contemporary French-inspired dining, modern event spaces and the exclusive Club Millésime lounge make this one of Sydney’s most talked-about addresses.

We’re setting a new benchmark for hospitality in this city, and we’re building a night team to match. When the city goes quiet, the hotel’s most important work begins. At Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, our night team is trusted to run a landmark property with confidence, calm and a touch of French elegance.

As Assistant Night Manager, you’ll step up as a leader of the night shift, with real ownership, real responsibility and the opportunity to develop your own path?.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the night: Run a safe, secure and seamless overnight operation, supervising the Night Auditor and team across Front Office, lobby, portering and in-room dining, and stepping in as the senior voice in the Night Manager’s absence.
• Own the numbers: Complete and oversee the night audit in Opera PMS, keeping every transaction balanced and finalised on time, with sound control of cash, credit and high-balance accounts.
• Make the tough calls: Handle overbookings, security incidents, intoxicated guests and complaints with sound judgement and empathy, turning difficult moments into service recovery wins.
• Be the face of the hotel after hours: Maintain a visible lobby presence, greet guests, inspect public areas and back of house, and keep the property running to Sofitel standards.
• Develop your team: Brief, coach and train night team members, and deliver a clear operational and financial handover to the day management team each morning.

• Front Office or Night Audit experience in a hotel, ideally luxury
• Confident knowledge of night audit, cash handling, credit control and banking
• Proficiency in Opera PMS or a similar property management system desirable 
• Experience leading a team overnight with limited senior support
• Calm, professional approach to complaints and security incidents
• Current NSW RSA and First Aid certificate (required)
• Excellent written and spoken English; a second language is an advantage
• Availability for overnight shifts, weekends and public holidays
