We are seeking an experienced Production Manager to lead all production disciplines at LIFE Melbourne, including audio, lighting, live video, live streaming, and stage management. This is a full time, hands on leadership role for someone who brings both strong technical competency and a genuine heart for developing people. Working in close partnership with the Programming Director, Worship Oversight, and Creative Director, you will ensure every service and event is executed in line with our strategic goals.

Beyond the technical, this role carries significant people responsibility. You will lead, train, and develop the Production Coordinator, team leaders, and a large volunteer base, building clear pathways from enquiry through to rostered team member. You will set the standard for production quality at LIFE Melbourne and champion a culture of continuous growth across the team.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and developing production leaders and volunteers across all disciplines, including audio, lighting, live video, and stage management
  • Operating as Technical Director, audio engineer, lighting operator, or video director as rostered across Sunday services and events
  • Overseeing production preparation for events, conferences, and major seasonal services including Easter and Christmas
  • Taking primary responsibility for equipment maintenance, repair, and asset management across all production areas
  • Working with the Production Coordinator to ensure rosters are built two months in advance and maintained at a healthy fill rate
  • Partnering closely with the Programming Director to align production strategy with the broader vision of the church

If you are someone who takes full ownership of your environment, is equally comfortable directing a team and operating behind a console, and is committed to both the craft and the local church, we would love to hear from you.

We are seeking a Hospitality Manager to take full ownership of the LIFE Kitchen and Café as one operation, alongside the planning and delivery of hospitality and catering across Sundays, mid-week use, and church events. This is a hands-on, on-site leadership role for someone who brings both strong operational capability and a genuine heart for the people they serve. Working in close partnership with the Programme Director, Operations Manager, and Guest Services, you will ensure that hospitality at LIFE Melbourne reflects our culture of excellence, generosity, and welcome.

This role carries real leadership responsibility. You will recruit, train, and develop kitchen and café teams and a broad base of volunteer team, building clear onboarding pathways from first enquiry through to rostered team member. From managing daily café operations and stock control through to producing detailed catering plans for large scale events, conferences, and seasonal services, you will be the person who ensures everyone is fed, the team is prepared, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and developing kitchen, café, and hospitality volunteers, including clear onboarding pathways
  • Running the daily operating rhythm of the café, including rostering, stock levels, opening and closing procedures, and food quality standards
  • Producing a written catering plan for every event at least two weeks out, covering menu, budget, staffing, and run sheet

  • Maintaining food safety, hygiene, and WHS compliance, including all required certifications and records
  • Managing cost of goods, wastage, and monthly budget reporting, with menu and pricing reviewed twice yearly
