About

Located in the heart of the nation’s capital city of Canberra’s thriving west, the Federal Golf Club is currently ranked no.80 in the country.

The club offers an impressive 18-hole championship golf course, a pro shop and golf operation in-house, a driving range, and a clubhouse facility. The club is in the process of re-designing the golf course alongside Crafter-Mogford to accommodate a 125-unit Over 55 Retirement Village on site, securing the club’s long-term future.

We are now seeking an experienced and engaging General Manager to guide the club into the next phase of its growth and development.  You will be actively involved in all aspects of the club and responsible for all operations.

Your priorities will be to lead, support, and develop a high-performing service team; drive growth, revenue, and profit; and effectively implement the club’s strategic plan.  The role demands a General Manager with a desire to lead, who has exceptional communication and organisational skills and a driven personality.

To be considered for the role you are likely to possess the following attributes: 

• Effective leadership, with a focus on delivering high-quality member and guest experiences by a high-performing service team.
• Business-focused mindset, with a successful record in achieving revenue targets, revenue diversification, cost controls and profit.
• Governance acumen, which ensures the efficient and effective operation of the club, with an emphasis on communication and project management.
• Exceptional organisational and communication skills, capable of co-ordinating various stakeholders

It is essential that you are a friendly, independent, and motivated person, with good communication and personal skills that match the club’s culture, and diverse stakeholder engagement requirements.  Experience in the management of a diverse business with a member-focused background, together with hospitality and golf knowledge, is highly desirable.

If you are currently employed outside the golf industry and possess the attributes as identified, then you are strongly encouraged to apply.

A competitive remuneration package will be negotiated with the successful candidate, commensurate with the role and your credentials.
