JOB: General Manager – Kangaroo Valley Golf & Country Retreat

About

Kangaroo Valley Golf and Country Retreat (KVGCR) is looking for a hands-on General Manager. This role will NOT be your typical General Management role – office, suits, large teams etc (trying to make a boring ad fun! but seriously please read on!)

KVGCR offers Accommodation, Golf, onsite restaurant and a Function Centre. We have approximately 14 employees give or take but looking to substantially expand our team over the next 12 months.

We are currently making huge changes within our business including the development of 24 brand new villas and a substantial renovation of our conference centre/private dining room.

We are looking for a General Manager who can reorganise and manage the current business but also have the experience and drive to manage a very different business in the coming 12 to 18 months.

The current Management role requires the following – a total restructuring of budgets for all departments, policies and procedures for all departments, team management and recruiting new team members, building relationships with existing and new villa owners and members, overseeing the development where required, weekly team members, cabin and villa inspections, golf course inspections, review and implementatio of policy and procedures and so much more! No 2 days will be the same.

In all seriousness, this is a great role for someone who does not enjoy being stuck behind a computer all day, who has the drive and passion for change, someone who doesn’t mind jumping behind the reception desk or bar to lend a hand and someone who has the patience and resilience to put this fantastic business in a position to really grow over the next 12 months.
