We’re now looking for an experienced and hands-on Secretary Manager to lead our team, drive operations and revenue growth, and continue the Club’s legacy as a thriving community hub.

About the role
Reporting directly to the Board, this is a leadership opportunity that blends strategic direction with daily operational involvement. You’ll oversee all aspects of the Club’s business, from hospitality and gaming to administration, compliance, and community engagement.

Key responsibilities:
  • Lead all day-to-day operations across hospitality, gaming, sport, and administration
