Providing leadership, guidance and support to ensure a consistently high level of service
About You
We are looking for an accomplished leader who thrives in environments where people, service and operational excellence are equally important.
You may come from funeral services, healthcare, medical, aged care, critical care, emergency services, hospitality, or another highly regulated and fast-paced environment.
You will ideally bring:
Proven experience leading teams and managing complex operations
Strong organisational and problem-solving skills
The ability to remain calm and composed in high-pressure situations
A genuine people-focused leadership style
Robust communication and stakeholder management skills
Experience managing competing priorities across multiple teams or locations
A strong understanding of compliance, safety and operational procedures

Most importantly, you will be a confident and compassionate leader who can balance commercial and operational priorities with exceptional service and care.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to step into a meaningful leadership position with a highly regarded organisation, overseeing established teams and operations while making a genuine difference to the experience of families during an important and often difficult time.
If you are an experienced Operations Manager, Service Manager or senior operational leader looking for your next challenge, we would love to hear from you.
