Chief Executive Officer

  • Multi-site Leisure, Hospitality & Entertainment Group
  • Location: Greater Western Sydney
  • High Profile, Iconic Brand.

A rare and career-defining opportunity has emerged for a highly experienced and commercially driven executive to take the reins as Chief Executive Officer of a diverse, high-profile group operating across leisure, hospitality, property, and entertainment.

This is not a typical CEO role. This is a chance to lead a multi-site, multi-entity organisation with a well-established brand, a powerful legacy, and a future-focused strategic roadmap extending to 2032 and beyond.

With a footprint across New South Wales and growing national reach, this role will suit a proven business leader with a track record of successfully managing complex operations, delivering sustained commercial growth, and guiding high-performing executive teams through strategic periods of growth.

The Role:

Reporting directly to the Board of Directors and Chairperson, the CEO will take full responsibility for:

  • Leading a broad-based portfolio of businesses across hospitality, leisure, property, and venues
  • Driving strategic planning, organisational performance, and operational excellence across the Group
  • Overseeing capital works projects and long-term investment plans
  • Strengthening commercial performance while upholding cultural integrity and stakeholder trust
  • Representing the organisation in high-level stakeholder engagement, including external banking, government, industry, and community settings
  • Leading an established, senior executive team across finance, operations, HR, IT, and affiliated business units

About You:

You are an accomplished executive with:

  • Extensive experience as a CEO, Managing Director, or senior executive leader within a highly successful multi-faceted organisation including hospitality, entertainment, leisure, or related sectors.
  • Relevant and appropriate experience in wider sectors outside of these listed will not be discounted.
  • A strategic mindset with proven success in multi-site or group-level leadership
  • Sophisticated stakeholder engagement skills and exceptional commercial acumen
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex organisations with strong governance, culture, and community visibility
  • A modern leadership style that balances innovation with heritage, performance with purpose, and commercial outcomes with cultural integrity

You are highly capable, relentlessly commercial, and a true leader of people — visible, inspiring, and forward-thinking.
