Job Description

Ready to swap the Melbourne grind for a hands-on leadership role in one of Victoria's most beautiful settings, with accommodation provided? Set across 106 acres in the Yarra Valley region, Flowerdale Estate is an award-winning wedding, dining, accommodation and conference venue built around a historic 1842 homestead, lush gardens and rolling hills, a genuine multi-revenue destination business with a reputation to match.

n

This is a floor-based leadership role for someone with a genuine owner-operator mindset, not a desk job. You'll be across weddings and events, Gracie's Restaurant, accommodation and conferences, leading an existing management team with full autonomy to shape the next chapter of the business. This is a relocation role with accommodation provided on-site, whether you're Melbourne-based and ready for a change of pace or already in the region.

n

Reducing reliance on agency staff by strengthening the permanent team and internal systems

n

Working closely with ownership on strategic direction while owning execution day to day

n

Being visibly present and hands-on across service, events and daily operations, not managing from an office

n

What we're looking for

n

A robust multi-department hospitality operator, ideally from a wedding, resort, or similar multi-revenue venue

n

A true owner-operator mindset, treating the business's performance as your own

n

Genuinely hands-on leadership style, comfortable running service rather than just overseeing it
