General Manager All Age Communities

• $210,000 – $250,000 + super + 20% STI | Approx. 18-month fixed-term contract | Brisbane
• Own the performance and growth of Eureka’s rapidly expanding Evera and Escapes portfolios
• Lead a national mixed-use portfolio spanning residential communities, tourism and short-stay accommodation

Are you a commercially driven operational leader who knows how to run a business while building the infrastructure it needs to scale?

Eureka is entering a significant period of growth across our All-Age Communities portfolio, and we’re looking for an experienced General Manager to lead it.

This is a maternity leave contract with responsibility for the performance, people, operating model and growth of our Evera and Escapes portfolios. While there may be opportunities for ongoing employment with Eureka beyond the contract period, permanency would be in another position, not this role.

Why Eureka?

Eureka Group Holdings (Eureka Villages) is an ASX-listed organisation redefining community living in Australia. We provide comfortable, affordable and authentic places for living that foster stability, connection and belonging.

Our Evera portfolio provides all-age rental communities, while Escapes provides tourism and short-stay accommodation. Many of our communities operate both revenue streams concurrently, creating a genuinely mixed-use operating environment.

All-Age Communities is Eureka’s highest-growth segment, with the portfolio expected to grow from 17 communities today to 24 by FY28 and 45 by FY31. This growth will come through both acquisitions and staged development, creating an opportunity to build an operating platform capable of supporting significant scale.

Our values guide how we work: Putting People First, Embracing the Challenge, Committing and Following Up, Acting with Purpose, and Building Belonging.

What’s the role?

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, you’ll own the Evera and Escapes portfolios end-to-end, including their P&L, operating model, people and growth.

You’ll lead through a team of Regional Managers across a geographically dispersed national portfolio, ensuring our current communities perform to plan while building the operational infrastructure needed to successfully absorb future growth.

Your key priorities will include:

• Own portfolio performance and P&L, driving occupancy, rental growth, tourism and short-stay revenue, pricing, yield, margin and cost performance across both revenue streams.
• Build and embed a scalable operating model, standardising how communities are staffed, administered, measured and supported while creating the operational and administrative infrastructure required for future growth.
• Lead growth through acquisition and development, including operational due diligence, 30/60/90-day integration, post-acquisition stabilisation and activation of new development releases while communities continue trading.
• Lead mixed-use commercial operations, balancing permanent rental, tourism and short-stay accommodation while protecting the experience of residents and guests.
• Build leadership capability and accountability, developing Regional and Community Managers, strengthening succession and creating a high-performing culture across a dispersed national workforce.
• Partner closely with Finance, Development, Capital Transactions, Sales & Marketing, People & Culture, Safety and Technology to ensure growth is commercially sustainable and operationally executable.

You’ll also provide clear insight to our executive leadership and Board, reporting on portfolio performance, growth delivery, risk and outlook.

What’s in it for you?

• $210,000 – $250,000 + superannuation + 20% STI, depending on experience.
• An approximately 18-month fixed-term maternity leave contract.
• Ownership of Eureka’s highest-growth operating segment during a significant period of expansion.
• Genuine scope to design and build, rather than simply inherit and maintain an established operating model.
• Direct exposure to our CEO, Board and senior leadership team within an ASX-listed organisation.
• The opportunity to influence how a national portfolio scales across acquisitions, development, residential communities and tourism.

What’s it like working for Eureka?

Eureka is growing quickly, and this role sits at the centre of that growth.

Our All-Age portfolio is expected to more than double over the coming years. Acquired communities bring different systems, processes and operating practices that need to be stabilised and integrated. At the same time, new communities and stock are being progressively developed and activated while existing sites continue trading.

That means this isn’t a role for someone looking to simply maintain an established operating environment.

You’ll be expected to run today’s business while building tomorrow’s, creating greater consistency, capability and commercial discipline without losing sight of the residents and guests who experience our communities every day.

Is this role right for you?

We’re looking for an accomplished general manager who has operated at genuine business-line or segment level, rather than solely managing a regional or functional portfolio.

You’ll ideally bring:

• 10+ years’ senior operational leadership experience, including significant experience leading through a management layer across a geographically dispersed, multi-site portfolio.
• Demonstrated ownership of a business-line or segment P&L, with strong commercial capability across occupancy, pricing, revenue, cost management, budgeting and margin optimisation.
• Experience across residential rental, land lease or community housing, together with short-stay, holiday park, tourism, hospitality or accommodation operations, ideally within a mixed-use environment.
• A track record of designing and embedding operating models, administrative structures and standardised processes within a growing or transforming multi-site business.
• Demonstrated acquisition, due diligence and integration experience, ideally alongside staged development, site activation, leasing or sales.
• Strong leadership capability, with experience developing autonomous leaders, strengthening succession and creating accountability across dispersed teams.
• Credibility with executive and Board-level stakeholders, alongside strong safety, risk, compliance and governance capability.

A relevant tertiary qualification in business, property, commerce or a related discipline is desirable, as is working knowledge of residential tenancy and WHS obligations across multiple Australian jurisdictions. Frequent national travel is an inherent requirement of the role.

Ready to join Eureka?

If you’re an experienced operational leader who thrives in growth, understands the complexity of mixed-use residential and accommodation operations and enjoys building the systems, capability and leadership required to scale, we’d love to hear from you.

This position is offered as an approximately 18-month fixed-term maternity leave contract. While there may be an opportunity for ongoing employment within Eureka following the contract period, any permanent opportunity would be in another position, as this role is maternity leave coverage.

At Eureka, we celebrate equity and diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, identities and experiences and believe diverse perspectives strengthen our communities and organisation.

Please note that unlimited and unrestricted working rights in Australia, a current driver’s licence and satisfactory pre-employment checks are required.
