* Liaise with the Retail Manager to ensure bottle shop operations remain aligned with the hotel's brand standards, promotions, and customer experience.
* Inspire and manage department heads, fostering a high-performance culture grounded in accountability, collaboration, and service excellence.
* Drive profitability by meeting budgets, controlling labour and COGS, and identifying new revenue opportunities.
* Champion guest experience, ensuring consistent quality across all touchpoints and responding proactively to feedback.
* Oversee accommodation management, ensuring rooms, services, and guest facilities meet high standards.
* Partner with Sales and Marketing to grow brand visibility, functions, and holiday trade while strengthening the venue's role as the island's community hub.

* Provide accurate and timely operational and financial reporting to senior leadership.
The Venue - Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel
Perched above the iconic Cylinder Beach, the Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel is far more than a pub - it is the island's flagship hospitality precinct. Following a major renovation, the hotel is set to feature:
* Upgraded bistro, multiple bars, and an expansive beer garden
* Modern function and event facilities
* Guest accommodation
* Ongoing operation of three bottle shops across the island
SIBH has always been a cornerstone for the local community and a must-visit for holidaymakers. With its new look and expanded capability, it is set to become one of Queensland's most distinctive destinations for dining, entertainment, events, and coastal escapes.
This relaunch marks the start of a new era - and as General Manager, you'll have the opportunity to build the team, shape the culture and success of the precinct from the ground up, and set the tone for how the venue enters its next chapter.

* Proven success as a General Manager (minimum 2 years) in a high-volume, multi-outlet hospitality venue.
* Strong financial acumen, with a track record of hitting labour cost, COGS, and profitability targets.
* Operational breadth across food & beverage, gaming, functions/events, retail and accommodation.
* Experience managing compliance obligations across liquor, gaming, WHS, and licensing.
* Exceptional leadership and communication skills, with the ability to inspire, coach, and hold teams accountable.
* A hands-on leadership style and genuine passion for hospitality, community, and guest experience.
