About us There's nothing complicated about dealing with business people. They're just people. Doing business. By day, international marketing superhero. By night: fluffy bath robe and a box set. Like Liz, who's left her laptop cable in the cab. Or Mario, who's secretly missing his cats. The early riser, who's first in the gym. The sales team preparing for the 'big pitch' over a freshly prepared lunch. At Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, we embrace the new world of business and understand that Modern business travellers want a hotel (and a hotel team) that understands and supports them, helping at every turn. Crowne Plaza Sydney Coogee Beach is located in a perfect central beachside location, an area priding itself on its laid-back lifestyle, tranquil waters, historic ocean baths and plenty of green spaces. Your day-to-day As Operations Manager, you will report to the Portfolio General Manager and are an integral member of the Leadership team.
