General Manager – Licensed Club

Rugby League is Australia's most entertaining and popular sport, and the Illawarra is truly rugby league heartland. Illawarra District Rugby League Football Club Limited administers the local game and operates Licensed Club.

Steelers provides a variety of entertainment choices including bars, dining, events and function rooms to members, their guests, our community and visitors.

The Club's purpose is to fund grassroots Rugby League administration, local competitions, sponsorships, promotion, community engagement and pathways for elite athletes into the St George Illawarra Dragons team in the NRL.

The Club is in the heart of the Illawarra Sports and Entertainment Precinct, adjacent to Win Stadium and the Wollongong Entertainment Centre, making it a prime location for delivering exceptional entertainment experiences.

The Board are now looking for a commercially astute General Manager to take Steelers to the next level and manage evolutionary change.

Their sound financial position and prime location provide the optimal canvas to build brand loyalty and reimagine the venue's service proposition.

This all-encompassing role will suit an ambitious hospitality industry leader with intellect and gravitas who brings energy, commerciality, creative flair and an infectious determination to deliver superior service and financial success.

You are community-minded and understand Steelers’ purpose is your purpose; to promote Rugby League and effectively administer the sport funded by the exceptional entertainment venue and the experience you deliver.

While Rugby League administration experience isn't a prerequisite, a passion for the Game is, as is an aptitude for the business of entertainment and venue management.

The Club’s Board also welcomes applications from business leaders without Registered Club or Hospitality experience who have built consumer brands, fostered excellent cultures and delivered commercial success.
