Description

Company Description Located in the township of Jabiru within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, the Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel (affectionately known as "The Croc") is one of the world's most distinctive and iconic hotels. Uniquely built in the shape of Kakadu’s apex predator—the saltwater crocodile—this 110-room hotel serves as the primary commercial, social, and tourism hub for the Jabiru community. Owned by Journey Beyond and proudly managed by Accor, The Croc features a swimming pool at its "heart", the Manjmukmuk Restaurant and Bar showcasing Top End game and bush foods, the on-site Ochre Gallery featuring high-quality local Indigenous art, and versatile meeting and business facilities. Our premier location is the ideal base for guests exploring the northern end of Kakadu—including Ubirr, Cahills Crossing, Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) Rock Art Site, and the Mamukala Wetlands—and serves as the perfect departure point for day tours into Arnhem Land. Job Description We are seeking an experienced, visionary, and culturally aligned General Manager to lead the team at the Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel in Jabiru. This role calls for an adventurous, community-minded hospitality professional dedicated to managing year-round operations, driving commercial growth, and delivering outstanding guest experiences. Managing the Mercure Crocodile Hotel, you will navigate the unique seasonal cycles of the Top End (the Wet and Dry seasons) while fostering deep, respectful relationships with hotel owners, local Indigenous communities, and conservation partners. In this role, you will apply your operational expertise and commercial acumen to lead a dedicated team of Heartists® in a remote, culturally significant, and environmentally sensitive location, ensuring The Croc remains a premier destination for Australian and international travellers. Please note this position is a live-on-site role, providing accommodation at the Hotel as part of the employment package. Qualifications A qualification in hotel management, hospitality management, commerce, or business administration would be highly regarded. About You Minimum of 5 years’ senior hospitality management experience (General Manager or strong Hotel Manager/EAM), ideally in remote environments. Proven commercial acumen and financial literacy, with success in P&L management, forecasting, budgeting, and optimising revenue streams. Highly skilled in managing multi-stakeholder relationships, balancing corporate standards and owner expectations with a deep respect and appreciation for Indigenous communities. An inspirational, people-first leader capable of fostering high performance and supporting team well-being in a remote residential community. Highly adaptable and resilient, with the practical problem-solving skills needed to manage remote logistics, supply chains, and staffing cycles. Full, unrestricted Australian working rights.
