Job Description
Operations & Business Growth Manager
SDA Global Group | Crestmead, Brisbane QLD
An Opportunity to Lead, Grow and Make a Meaningful Impact
SDA Global Group is seeking an experienced, commercially focused and results-driven Operations & Business Growth Manager to lead our daily operations, strengthen service delivery and drive the next stage of our business growth.
We are a growing NDIS service provider committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred supports that make a genuine difference in the lives of people with disability.
Our current services include Community Access, in-home support, garden and yard maintenance, and property maintenance. We are also actively expanding our Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Individualised Living Options (ILO) services.
As a smaller organisation with ambitious growth plans, we offer an opportunity for an experienced leader to make a tangible impact, influence business direction and contribute directly to our long-term success.
We are looking for more than an operational manager. We are seeking a strategic thinker, capable leader and commercially minded professional who can translate opportunities into sustainable business growth.
About the Role
Reporting directly to the Directors, you will be responsible for overseeing SDA Global's operational performance while implementing strategies to strengthen service delivery, increase revenue, expand our participant base and achieve long-term financial sustainability.
You will work collaboratively with an existing team member responsible for relationship development and participant engagement, ensuring that business development initiatives translate into successful participant intake and high-quality service delivery.
This is a hands-on leadership position requiring a balance of strategic thinking, operational expertise and practical implementation.
As SDA Global continues to expand, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to progress into a General Manager position, subject to demonstrated performance and organisational growth.
