Lead the Team That Welcomes the World to Central Australia.
A senior leadership role covering operations, commercial growth and people — set against the Red Centre's biggest landscapes.
Tourism Central Australia is looking for a Head of Operations to run our commercial and visitor operations across Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Yulara, driving recent growth, and fostering a positive corporate culture.
Why this is an amazing opportunity
Genuine seniority, real influence.
This is a true leadership-table role — a direct report to the CEO with the authority to deputise, shape strategy, and represent one of only two Regional Tourism Organisations in the Northern Territory.
Rare breadth in one role.
Operations, commercial development and whole-of-agency HR, all in a single mandate.
It's the kind of varied,



high-impact remit that's hard to find anywhere else in the sector.
A setting unlike any other.
Lead teams across Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Yulara, at the literal centre of Australia — working at the frontline of one of the country's most iconic visitor economies.
If you've led tourism operations before, know what it takes to run a visitor-facing business, and want your next role to actually matter — we want to hear from you.
