About Eureka
At Eureka, we’re reimagining seniors living. We create communities where older Australians feel at home, places built on respect, connection, and belonging. Our Operations team is the backbone of everything we deliver across our seniors village portfolio, and we’re looking for a General Manager of Operations who leads with both commercial clarity and genuine care for the people in our communities.

You’ll contribute operational insight to executive leadership, support the execution of our portfolio optimisation strategy, and ensure assets identified for divestment continue to perform commercially through transition. Close to the work, trusted by your peers, and empowered to make a genuine mark.

- Support portfolio transactions, acquisition due diligence, divestment execution, and ensuring assets remain stable through transition.
- Drive continuous improvement across operational systems, governance, and service delivery.
- Deliver the monthly Operations Report to the Board and ELT covering performance, risks, and key initiatives.
What you’ll bring
- Demonstrated senior leadership experience across large multi site operational portfolios, ideally in seniors living, aged care, or residential accommodation.
- Experience leading regional operations, property management, and facilities teams.
- Strong commercial acumen, P&L ownership, budget management, and cost discipline.
