Director of Commercial

At Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort, we don't just deliver luxury — we redefine it. Nestled in the heart of one of Australia’s most breathtaking beach destinations, our resort is a blend of contemporary elegance, relaxed coastal charm, and world-class service.

We are currently undertaking a full-scale resort refurbishment, set to transform Sofitel Noosa into one of Australia’s leading luxury resorts, drawing sophisticated travellers from both domestic and international markets. This is a rare opportunity to be part of something extraordinary — to help shape the next generation of resort luxury.

We’re not looking for the same old, same old. While many hotels say they’re innovative, we don’t just talk it — we live it. We’re building a team of trailblazers — passionate, visionary professionals who challenge the status quo and bring bold, fresh thinking to the table. If you’re a hospitality leader with a creative edge and the drive to push boundaries, we want you on this journey.

We are seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking luxury hospitality leader — someone who not only understands the refined expectations of high-end guests but knows how to exceed them with imaginative, bespoke service.

This is your chance to lead through transformation, contribute to an exciting new era in luxury travel, and be part of a legacy in the making. Join us as we turn vision into reality and deliver experiences that others only dream about.
