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.
This is not a behind-the-desk role. It’s hands-on, varied, and strategically vital. You’ll collaborate with venue managers, support teams, and senior executives, providing leadership and expertise across operations, innovation, and project delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage IT operations across ten venues to ensure consistent, reliable performance and security.
Management and maintenance of server and network infrastructure, including external outsourced vendor helpdesk support
Oversee vendor relationships and contracts for core business systems including POS, finance, HR, marketing, operations and communications.
Develop and execute a long-term IT and digital transformation roadmap aligned with Matthews Hospitality’s growth strategy.
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.
Why Join Matthews Hospitality?
Be part of a respected, family-owned business with a proud South Australian legacy.
Join an energetic executive team shaping the future of hospitality.
Enjoy variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact across our venues.
Competitive remuneration and professional growth opportunities.
Bring your expertise, creativity, and leadership to a group that values innovation, people, and community.
If you’re ready to elevate technology in one of South Australia’s most dynamic hospitality groups — we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now and be part of the next chapter at Matthews Hospitality.
