Step into a leadership role like no other, deep in the heart of the Northern Territory’s untouched wilderness, where nature takes centre stage and every day brings something extraordinary. This is more than a job—it’s a lifestyle.

Imagine waking up to the songs of native birds, the rustle of eucalyptus leaves, and the distant call of a dingo under a sky glittering with stars. Here, there are no city lights—just the glow of campfires, the luxury of open skies, and the thrill of authentic Australian experiences.

About the venue:

Nestled in a remote, awe-inspiring location, the off-the-grid lodge offers luxury accommodation, immersive wilderness adventures, river cruises, barramundi fishing, birdwatching, and world-class dining. Guests leave changed, connected, and inspired.

The Opportunity:

We’re looking for an exceptional General Manager to take the reins and lead a passionate team in delivering extraordinary guest experiences in one of Australia’s most unique and pristine settings.

You’ll be the heartbeat of the operation—leading a team of 20 onsite staff, shaping unforgettable guest journeys, and upholding the highest standards of service, sustainability, and hospitality.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Curating magical experiences through collaboration with guides, chefs, and staff.

Leading and mentoring a close-knit team to consistently exceed guest expectations.

Overseeing all day-to-day operations—hospitality, logistics, guest services, and budgets.

Collaborating with the Head Chef on local, culturally rich dining experiences.

Driving innovation, profitability, and sustainability with every decision.

Being the warm, professional face of the lodge—hosting, storytelling, and problem-solving.

Managing site safety, maintenance, staff development, and strategic planning.

What’s In It For You:

Attractive Salary Package

Free Meals & Onsite Accommodation

Relocation Assistance

WIFI Available onsite
