• Optimise member participation and engagement
• Very attractive executive remuneration package

Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club (SSCBC), located at the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula, is home to the largest fleet of historic Couta Boats in Australia. Members enjoy an active racing program every weekend from November to June as well as a very active Sailing Academy. SSCBC has over 4000 members, providing a generous group of skilled volunteers who help the Club to host local, national and international regattas.

The ideal candidate will likely have held key leadership roles in a sporting club, ideally one which includes a significant food & beverage offering. Not comfortable sitting behind a closed door, the GM will be someone who genuinely wants to engage with members, seeking feedback and opportunities for improvement.

To be considered for this role you will have senior management experience with P&L accountability and a track record of successfully managing and growing a like-sized business, preferably reporting to a Committee or Board of Directors. You will have the ability to manage the day-to-day business operations, willing to roll up your sleeves and work hands-on when required, whilst maintaining a focus on the long term strategic priorities.

This is a unique opportunity to develop and deliver meaningful and well patronised activities, services and programs maximising the use of the newly developed Club facilities in both peak and non-peak periods. Whilst a background in sailing would be advantageous, most important is a commitment to delivering the best possible service to members and stakeholders.

Note : Most Club activities are offered from Thursday to Sunday evenings (seven days a week over school holidays) and the GM must be comfortable working across these times.
