Head of Operations

4 days ago

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Wall Street Full time $70,000 - $120,000 per year

We're looking for a commercially-driven leader to join LK Hospitality as Head of Operations – the CEO's strategic partner focused on translating business strategy into profitable operational delivery across our premium venue portfolio.

The Role

This isn't your typical operations role. While you'll carry the Head of Operations title, you're fundamentally a commercial leader who uses operational levers to drive business performance. 

Your commercial focus areas:

  • Driving P&L performance across our venue portfolio – maximising profitability through strategic operational decisions
  • Leading commercial operations including venue managers and department heads to hit financial targets
  • Managing new venue openings with a focus on strong commercial performance from day one
  • Implementing scalable systems that optimise costs, improve efficiency, and support rapid growth
  • Optimising supplier relationships and procurement strategies to maximise margins
  • Overseeing service teams at a strategic level to ensure brand standards support commercial objectives
  • Partnering with the CEO on expansion plans, capex decisions, and commercial strategy
  • Building operational capability that drives business results and supports our growth ambitions

You're a business-first leader who happens to work through operations. Your success will be measured on financial performance, growth delivery, and commercial optimisation.

What You Bring

Essential experience:

  • Proven experience in senior operations roles in hospitality or multi-site consumer businesses
  • Proven P&L management and financial accountability
  • Track record of leading teams through growth and change
  • Experience with new site openings or expansion projects

You're someone who:

  • Sees operations as a vehicle for commercial success, not an end in itself
  • Gets energised by P&L accountability and driving business results
  • Can translate financial targets into operational execution
  • Thinks like a business owner, not just an operations manager
