- Ensure accurate financial management and compliance in-store
- Build meaningful relationships with community leaders and stakeholders
What’s on Offer: - $85,000 salary + 13.5% superannuation
- Company-provided accommodation
- Relocation support to help you settle in with ease
- Diverse, rewarding work across multiple locations

- A flexible, calm, and solutions-focused mindset
- Committed to live and work in remote settings with a culturally respectful approach

- Full Australian working rights, no restrictions - Unfortunately this position does not offer visa sponsorship.
Highly Regarded (But not essential): - Remote retail or relief management experience
- First Aid, Food Safety, Forklift, or 4WD certifications
This is more than just a job, it’s a chance to lead with purpose and grow professionally while exploring some of Australia’s most extraordinary regions.
