Community Engagement Officer
- Build relationships and drive engagement within a growing residential community and golf club.
- Plan and execute community events and marketing initiatives to enhance participation and revenue.
- Support new residents during their settlement period and keep them informed and connected.
The Opportunity
Our client is an Australian owned Property Developer, currently delivering a landmark master-planned community that will grow significantly over the next 5–10 years. This is a large-scale, long-term project set in a beautiful coastal location – the kind of development that genuinely transforms a region.
A key point of difference for this community is a golf course and clubhouse, which serves as both a lifestyle asset for residents and a commercial and social hub for the wider local area. This newly created role sits at the heart of it all.
About the Role
This is a genuinely unique position that spans two connected operations: a growing residential community and a golf club. You will be the face of the community – building relationships, creating connection, and driving both engagement and commercial outcomes.
Responsibilties include:
- Welcome and engage new residents throughout the critical settlement period, from purchase through to moving in
- Plan and run community events – welcome evenings, resident activities, sausage sizzles, and more
- Keep both on-site and remote buyers informed and connected with regular updates
- Support the marketing team with social media content that brings community life to life for prospective buyers
- Work closely with the Club Manager to grow participation and revenue across bar, restaurant, and function facilities
- Plan and execute commercially focused events to drive food, beverage, and golf-related sales
- Identify and secure sponsorships – event partnerships, and corporate golf days
- Help position the club as a social destination for both residents and the broader community
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
- Demonstrated experience in resident, community, or local engagement
- Proven event management skills – from planning through to execution
- Energetic, personable, and genuinely enthusiastic about people and community
- Equally comfortable with new residents, retirees, golfers, and corporate guests
- Organised and capable of managing multiple priorities across two distinct operations
- Available to work on-site at the project location (some remote flexibility applies)
Highly regarded:
- Background in community or village management – retirement living, master-planned estates, or similar
- Experience working in or alongside hospitality, golf, or club environments
- Social media and/or creative marketing skills
- Sponsorship, partnerships, or stakeholder relationship experience
Why This Role?
- Be part of something meaningful – help build a thriving community from the ground up
- Genuine variety – no two days the same across events, engagement, club operations, and marketing
- Long-term stability – this role is critical to the project for years to come and is earmarked to continue growing
- Join a passionate leadership team with a bold, long-term vision for the community
- Australian owned and operated – a developer that genuinely cares about what they build
