The Opportunity
Our client is an Australian owned Property Developer, currently delivering a landmark master-planned community that will grow significantly over the next 5–10 years. This is a large-scale, long-term project set in a beautiful coastal location – the kind of development that genuinely transforms a region. A key point of difference for this community is a golf course and clubhouse, which serves as both a lifestyle asset for residents and a commercial and social hub for the wider local area. This newly created role sits at the heart of it all.
About the Role
This is a genuinely unique position that spans two connected operations: a growing residential community and a golf club. You will be the face of the community – building relationships, creating connection, and driving both engagement and commercial outcomes.
Responsibilities include
Welcome and engage new residents throughout the critical settlement period, from purchase through to moving in
Plan and run community events – welcome evenings, resident activities, sausage sizzles, and more
Keep both in office and remote buyers informed and connected with regular updates
Support the marketing team with social media content that brings community life to life for prospective buyers
Work closely with the Club Manager to grow participation and revenue across bar, restaurant, and function facilities
Plan and execute commercially focused events to drive food, beverage, and golf-related sales
Identify and secure sponsorships – event partnerships,



and corporate golf days
Help position the club as a social destination for both residents and the broader community
What We're Looking For
Essential:
Demonstrated experience in resident, community, or local engagement
Proven event management skills – from planning through to execution
Energetic, personable, and genuinely enthusiastic about people and community
Equally comfortable with new residents, retirees, golfers, and corporate guests
Organised and capable of managing multiple priorities across two distinct operations
Available to work on-site at the project location (some remote flexibility applies)
Highly regarded:
Background in community or village management – retirement living, master-planned estates, or similar
Experience working in or alongside hospitality, golf, or club environments
Social media and/or creative marketing skills
Sponsorship, partnerships, or stakeholder relationship experience
Why This Role?
Be part of something meaningful – help build a thriving community from the ground up
Genuine variety – no two days the same across events, engagement, club operations, and marketing
Long-term stability – this role is critical to the project for years to come and is earmarked to continue growing
Join a passionate leadership team with a bold, long-term vision for the community
Australian owned and operated – a developer that genuinely cares about what they build
