Full-time, Ongoing

Start ASAP
Your next unforgettable adventure starts here.
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—and so do our team members.
The Opportunity:
We’re looking for an exceptional General Manager to take the reins and lead our 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.

  • 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:
  • $100,000 – $110,000 Salary (Negotiable based on experience)
  • Free Meals & Onsite Accommodation – live in comfort, surrounded by nature
  • Relocation Assistance – we’ll help you get here

  • Is commercially savvy and hands-on in operations
  • Has a deep respect for nature, culture, and community
  • Is confident, warm, and professional—great with guests and great with teams
  • Is ready to live and lead in one of the most beautiful places on earth
Requirements:
  • First Aid and CPR (HLTAID011 & HLTAID009)
  • RSA Certificate
  • MR Driver’s License & NT Driver Accreditation
  • National Police Clearance
  • Experience in managing remote operations (essential), with at least 2 years in a luxury asset (preferred)
