  • Oversee all operational activities across cattle, sheep, cropping, and pastures with a focus on maximising return on investment.
  • Lead budgets, cash flow, and monthly reporting, ensuring discipline in financial oversight.
  • Maintain and upgrade infrastructure to preserve and enhance property value.
  • Provide strong leadership to a small but capable team, fostering a high-performance culture and ensuring adherence to safety and compliance standards.
  • Engage directly with the Board and CEO on strategy, capital investment, and business growth initiatives.
  • Build strong external networks with contractors, suppliers, and government stakeholders to support the commercial success of the enterprise.

THE REQUIREMENTS

  • Proven track record in managing large-scale enterprises with strong commercial results.
  • Significant experience in budget control, financial reporting, and enterprise-level decision-making.
  • Hands-on operational capability, balanced with the ability to manage strategic priorities and deliver to Board-level expectations.
  • Strong leadership and people management skills, with experience in building and retaining high-performing teams.
  • Commercial acumen and adaptability to respond quickly to market, seasonal, and environmental changes.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the confidence to present to senior stakeholders.

WHY THIS ROLE?

This is a significant leadership opportunity within a progressive business environment where sustainable and commercial management is front and centre. Along with a competitive salary, the package includes:

  • Accommodation in a historic homestead of executive standard.
  • Work vehicle and allowances.
  • Performance-based incentives.
  • Access to ongoing professional development and industry programs.
