ROLE SUMMARY:
As Senior Operations Manager (Overlay / Fit Out), you will be responsible for leading the planning and delivery of all temporary infrastructure and venue fit-out requirements for Men's Rugby World Cup (RWC) 2027 Experiences across official venues and hospitality sites in Australia. This role ensures every location is operationally ready, compliant, and aligned with brand standards, combining strategic oversight with hands-on project management to deliver high-quality, on-time, and cost-effective overlay and fit-out programmes.
 
Working closely with internal teams, venues, contractors, and suppliers, the role oversees procurement, design coordination, budgets, health and safety compliance, and onsite delivery from installation through to dismantle. You will manage risk, reporting, and documentation, drive efficiency and sustainability initiatives, and provide strong onsite leadership to ensure seamless execution and exceptional experiences for clients, fans, and stakeholders throughout the tournament.
 
ABOUT YOU:

• Event Overlay & Fit-Out Delivery: 5+ years' experience delivering large-scale event infrastructure and temporary overlay projects across sporting and hospitality environments.
• Commercial & Supplier Management: Proven ability to manage suppliers, negotiate contracts, control budgets, and optimise costs while meeting KPIs and timelines.
• WHS & Risk Compliance: Strong knowledge of Australian WHS regulations with hands-on experience embedding safety and risk controls into project delivery.
• Technical & Analytical Skills: Confident reviewing technical drawings and CAD outputs, supported by strong data analysis and reporting capability.

• Collaborative Leadership: Effective communicator and influencer who aligns stakeholders to deliver high-quality outcomes.
• Sports and Events: A passion for sport, rugby, travel and events would be beneficial but is not essential.
