Key Responsibilities

Occupancy Specialist: Proactively design and launch social activities, "mix-ins," and intro clinics specifically tailored to the Sydney demographic (government, corporate, and active families) to maximise court usage.

Local Integration: Leverage your knowledge of the Sydney community to build partnerships and increase the club’s local footprint.

Direct Supervision: Lead, recruit, and train on-site personnel (Front Desk, Operations, and Maintenance) to meet our gold standards.

Rostering: Manage the "Club House" roster to ensure optimal coverage during peak demand while strictly managing the operational budget.

Schedule Optimisation: Oversee weekly schedules for all coaches to ensure availability aligns with the busiest times for Sydney locals.

Accountability: Strictly validate casual staff sessions and monitor contracted hours to ensure maximum productivity and high-quality coaching.

Asset Control: Manage ball inventory and equipment maintenance with a methodical approach.

Facility Standards: Maintain rigorous cleanliness across Padel & Pickleball courts, lounge, pro-shop, change facilities, and recovery areas.

Daily Readiness: Conduct walkthroughs to ensure the club is spotless and 100% "member-ready" every single morning.

Maintenance: Coordinate routine repairs and ensure total OH&S compliance.

‍Financial Monitoring: Oversee all income streams (memberships, bar, merchandise) ensuring every sale is recorded with total accuracy.

Fortnightly Reporting: Prepare and deliver bi-weekly performance reports regarding KPIs, occupancy growth, and financial health.

Stock Precision: Manage Pro-Shop and Bar inventory through regular audits to minimise shrinkage.

‍

High-Energy Personality: You are naturally cheerful, energetic, and love connecting with people.

Canberra Expert: You have deep knowledge of the Sydney community and understand how to engage the local population.

Extremely Methodical: Despite your high energy, you are detail-oriented and find "peace in order."

Startup DNA: You love fast-paced environments where you can take initiative and build something from the ground up.

Proven Leader: Experience managing teams and complex operations is a must.

Sports Lover: A passion for racquet sports is essential.
