Apply your dynamic leadership, strategic focus, and commercial success, together with your interest in golf, to lead one of the world’s great golf clubs.

The National is a private members club that offers a golfing experience unlike any other.

Located on two exceptional sites on Melbourne’s spectacular Mornington Peninsula, The National offers members and guests 72-holes of outstanding golf, first-class facilities, and premium clubhouse services.

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

• Dynamic leadership, with a record on delivering both the highest-quality member experiences by a high-performing service team and an effective business strategy by a high-performing Board.
• Strategic focus, including knowledge of relevant market trends and successful development and execution of the strategic, project, and annual business plans.
