At Guzman y Gomez, we don’t just make food — we grow leaders.

We’re looking for Shift Leaders who are ready to step up, lead from the front and play a key role in delivering exceptional guest experiences every day.

As a Shift Leader, you’ll help bring energy to the restaurant floor, support your team during busy services and ensure everything runs smoothly across your shifts.

This is an opportunity to grow your leadership skills, build confidence managing a team and take the next step in your hospitality career with one of Australia’s fastest-growing global brands.

• Lead shifts with confidence, ensuring the team is set up for success and delivering great service.
• Support and coach Crew Members to perform at their best in a fast-paced environment.
• Maintain high standards of food quality, cleanliness and operational excellence.
• Help drive a positive team culture where everyone feels supported and motivated.
• Work closely with the restaurant leadership team to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
• Be part of a fast-growing global brand that’s redefining fast food with real ingredients, authentic flavours and a bold vision.
• Take the next step in your leadership journey, with pathways into Head Cook, Assistant Restaurant Manager and Restaurant Manager roles.

We’ll back you with the tools, support and rewards you need to succeed:

• Flexible rosters and long-term stability — let’s talk about what balance looks like for you
• Structured training and leadership development
• Heavily discounted GYG meals (yes, every burrito)
• Free uniforms and exclusive GYG merch
• Cultural celebrations (Day of the Dead, Cinco de Mayo and more)
• Employee assistance program (Sonder) for you and your family

• A strong sense of teamwork and the confidence to support and guide others
• A commitment to delivering great guest experiences
• Strong communication skills and a positive attitude
• Reliability and pride in maintaining high standards

This is more than a Shift Leader role.

It’s an opportunity to grow your leadership skills, support a great team and be part of something bigger.
