Founding General Manager (Full-Time)

The Phillips Group Logo.pngThis career‑defining role offers the opportunity to build The Village Green from the ground up, leading day‑to‑day operations and shaping a values‑driven culture that brings schools, teams and purpose‑driven groups together through exceptional, sustainable experiences.

Full Time role

Location: Murrindindi Shire

The ad:

  • The Village Green will bring schools, teams and purpose driven groups to learn, celebrate, reflect and grow together.
  • This is a career defining opportunity to shape an organisation from the ground up; influence design, systems and programming before opening.
  • Lead day to day operations; build and lead a values driven culture that ensures guest experience alongside financial sustainability.

The Organisation

The Phillips Group invests in people, projects, and places with a shared commitment to empowering young people to feel hopeful about their future and to achieve enduring social change.

The Group’s social enterprises, philanthropic and venture-focused investments foster genuine collaboration that unlock human potential and, importantly, cultivates a culture of giving among its employees, customers, and community, inspiring them to contribute to a world that enables young people to reach their full potential.

The Vision

Located on 200 acres of tranquil bushland in Strath Creek, just one hour from Melbourne, The Village Green is being redeveloped as a purpose-built residential centre for experiential learning, community connection and ecological stewardship.  Upon opening in January 2028, the Centre will host schools, sports teams and purpose-driven groups, providing transformative outdoor experiences that integrate human connection (Village) with environmental regeneration (Green). The Village Green is not just a venue — it will be a living model of how community and ecology can come together to foster growth, resilience, and leadership.

The Position

The position will be entrusted with bringing this vision to life — leading operations, shaping programs, and building a culture that reflects the values of community and, connection to nature, transformation through experience, fun, learning, challenge, and care for Country.

Uniquely, the role spans two phases:

  • Phase 1 – Establishment (2026 – 2027): shaping the founding elements, marketing and selling to key markets, building systems, preparing programs and leading pre-opening readiness.

To be successful in the role we’re looking for a General Manager who demonstrates deep personal and professional alignment with the Village Green philosophy and who is motivated by the impact and social good.  Values alignment must be coupled with leadership and management experience, commercial acumen and an entrepreneurial spirit to drive growth that ensures financial sustainability.

This is a career defining opportunity to lead a world leading model of regenerative community connected education and retreat operations.  Do you want to leave a legacy by establishing and positioning The Village Green as the benchmark for premium, values-led experiential learning?

Our aim is to improve the relationship that people have with the outdoors and enjoy a range of recreational and educational experiences. We utilise outdoor settings as a means of escape from social stresses; to gain better understanding of ourselves; improve our relationships with others and find enjoyment associating within groups away from our structured surroundings.

South Australia is a great place to run outdoor programs as we can offer diverse activities and environments all year round.  The added variety of conducting day programs, base camps and journey expeditions helps to give balance. 

We are seeking passionate and enthusiastic instructors; people who have multiple qualifications.  We take care to give variety of programs to reduce burnout.   Work all year round is a refreshing reward when people come to South Australia.
