About Budgy Smuggler

Budgy Smuggler is an Australian brand proudly built in Manly (NSW) with a mission to have a pair of Smugglers on every beach in the world. We sell swimwear, apparel, and a bold sense of fun, with quality products, fast turnaround, and a unique personality that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Role Purpose

The Noosa Heads Store Manager is more than just a retail leader; you’re the face of Australia for thousands of locals and tourists walking through our doors each week.

This is your chance to represent one of Australia’s most iconic brands at one of its most famous beaches. Your mission is to bring the Aussie spirit to life in-store: laid‑back charm, larrikin humour, and an unforgettable customer experience that keeps people smiling long after they’ve left.

You’ll split your time between leading the Noosa store four days a week and spending one day out in the community, connecting with surf clubs, schools, local businesses, and partners to strengthen our roots in the Noosa lifestyle.
