Business Operations Manager – Great Barrier Reef Legacy Port Douglas | 0.7 FTE (3.5 days) | NFP Great Barrier Reef Legacy is seeking a hands-on Business Operations Manager to help shape how our organisation operates as we grow. Through our flagship Forever Reef Project, we are preserving coral biodiversity at an unprecedented scale — housing over 40% of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral species at our state-of-the-art Port Douglas facility. Working with a small but mighty team of passionate conservation leaders, this role brings the business acumen and systems focus needed to strengthen our organisational foundations and support sustainable impact. You’ll work closely with the CEO and team to improve systems, governance, finance, people processes, and day-to-day operations — rolling up your sleeves wherever needed.

Based in beautiful Port Douglas, this is a rare opportunity to combine meaningful work with an exceptional lifestyle.
