Ready for a new challenge that offers both responsibility and work-life balance?

Put your experience to good use in a rewarding three-day role where you'll have genuine responsibility, the freedom to make decisions and the opportunity to make a real difference. House Down South is a growing, locally owned short-stay property management business, looking for an experienced and resourceful Operations Coordinator to join our Margaret River team.

This is an opportunity to put your skills and experience to good use in a role that's varied, engaging and rewarding, while still having plenty of time to enjoy life outside of work.

The Opportunity

We're doing things a little differently. Rather than having one person overseeing operations five days a week, we're building a team of two Operations Coordinators who share equal responsibility for keeping our business running smoothly. You'll work Wednesday to Friday, approximately 9am–4pm, with a dedicated crossover day on Wednesday to collaborate, share information and plan ahead with your fellow coordinator.

You'll have genuine ownership of your role, the autonomy to make decisions and the opportunity to contribute ideas that help us continually improve how we work.

What we offer:

- A three-day working week with four days to enjoy life outside of work.
- $40–$42 per hour, depending on experience.
- A beautiful, welcoming workplace in central Margaret River.
- A diverse role with genuine autonomy and responsibility.
- A supportive local team who take pride in what they do.
- The opportunity to use your experience and help shape our operations.

Ideally, you'll live in Margaret River or nearby and have some flexibility to cover additional days during your fellow coordinator's leave.

What You'll Be Doing





You'll help keep the many moving parts of our business organised, effective and running to a high standard.

Your responsibilities will include

- Coordinating daily property operations, maintenance and operational priorities.
- Supporting our cleaners and Operations Assistants to ensure properties are prepared to a consistently high standard.
- Making practical decisions, solving problems and seeing issues through to resolution.
- Overseeing linen, supplies, equipment and warehouse requirements.
- Working closely with your fellow Operations Coordinator to ensure smooth handovers and continuity throughout the week.
- Identifying ways to streamline processes, improve systems and make our operations more efficient.

The role is primarily based at our Margaret River warehouse, although you'll also spend time getting to know our properties and occasionally jumping in on site when needed.

Who We're Looking For

Experience matters to us. So does attitude. We're looking for someone with solid experience in operations, coordination, administration or a similar role involving multiple people, tasks and competing priorities.

You might come from hospitality, events, property management, logistics or another busy service-based business.

You'll be someone who

- Takes ownership, shows initiative and confidently makes decisions.
- Is highly organised and can juggle multiple priorities.
- Stays calm,



practical and solutions-focused when plans change.
- Communicates clearly and works well with a variety of people.
- Is reliable, accountable and follows things through.
- Is tech-savvy, confident with software and enthusiastic about the opportunities offered by technology and AI.
- Naturally looks for smarter, more efficient ways of working.
- Can work independently while being a genuine team player.

Most importantly, you'll take pride in doing things properly, have a positive, can-do attitude and won't be afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed.
