About Us
It’s an exciting time for Discovery parks. Since our inception in 2004 we have experienced extensive growth. We currently own and operate over 65 Holiday and Workstay Parks throughout Australia and employ over 1100 people within these parks. As part of our ongoing growth plans, Discovery Parks has also recently acquired Australia’s largest network of parks – Top Parks.
The Top Parks transaction structure (being a 100% purchase of the brand) has ultimately accelerated Discovery Parks strategic goals to become the clear market leader in the industry. The acquisition of Top Parks has provided sufficient scale to establish the Licensed Parks Business. In addition to the acquisition of Top Parks, we have launched the G’Day Rewards loyalty program. The Loyalty business has set an ambitious growth plan.
Discovery’s strategy was developed with a significant investment in customer centric operations and technology. Discovery is looking to leverage the work across a larger footprint of parks through the introduction of Licensed parks.
The Role
Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this role will lead the Discovery Parks portfolio of parks comprising relevant holiday, tourist, residential living and Workstay parks throughout Australia.

Working together with your team you will strive to ensure the successful and profitable operation of the portfolio to maximise its profitability by being proactive and focussing on revenue and occupancy performance ensuring the achievement of budgets and forecasts.
Another key aspect of the role is to manage the strategic and ongoing growth (profit and business) of the organisation as well as monitoring and reporting on the performance of the portfolio to the COO.
Your Experience
