Adelaide, South Australia | Executive Role | Hospitality Technology Innovation

Are you ready to lead technology across one of South Australia’s most iconic hospitality groups?
Matthews Hospitality – proudly operating 10 popular pubs and venues across the state since 1942 – is seeking a dynamic and strategic Group IT Manager to join our executive team and drive the digital heartbeat of our business.

About the Role

As Group IT Manager, you’ll take charge of the technology that powers our venues, ensuring thousands of customers enjoy seamless experiences every single day. You’ll oversee all aspects of our IT infrastructure and systems, manage vendor relationships for business-critical platforms, and play a key role in shaping our long-term technology vision.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide executive-level insight and reporting to the CEO and leadership team.

• Drive innovation through emerging hospitality technologies that enhance customer experience and operational efficiency.

• Travel intrastate and interstate as required to support venues and projects.

About You

You’re an adaptable, forward-thinking IT leader who thrives in a fast-paced, people-focused environment. You’re as comfortable talking strategy in the boardroom as you are troubleshooting systems on-site.

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience leading IT infrastructure and systems across multiple sites.

• Strong vendor management and negotiation skills.

• A customer-first mindset with a passion for hospitality and technology.

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative leadership style.

• Strategic vision paired with hands-on technical expertise.
