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.
