I am currently the Online Manager for the Distribution Centre and I have been with the company since 2013. I started at Kawana as a Future Leader. Upon successful completion of my Future Leader Training, I moved to the Maroochydore store and held the Store Manager position for 3 years, while assisting the Kawana and Noosa stores when support was required. In 2016, I made the move to Darwin where I accepted a maternity leave contract as Store Manager and assisted the store in greatly improving its stock take.

I spent the next few years between Darwin and the Sunshine Coast before making the move to Brisbane to see what other career opportunities City Beach had. In 2019, I made the decision to brand out with another company. After only 12 weeks in my new role with a new company, I had the opportunity to return to City Beach as the Garden City Store Manager. In 2021, I decided I would like to expand my career and scored a gig as the Online Supervisor at the Distribution Centre here. In my 3 and a half years at the DC, I moved from being Online Supervisor, to Outbound Manager, to my current position as the Online Manager.

If you show up and put your best foot forward, the opportunities are endless within this amazing company.

Over the course of 8 years, I commenced my journey with City Beach as a Seasonal Retail Team Member at the Murray Street location over the Christmas period.

Through my time and dedication here, I moved into the position of Assistant Store Manager, to Multi-Site Manager overseeing operations of both the Joondalup and Carousel stores in WA. Transitioning into 2023, I secured the pivotal role of Area Manager for Western Australia, marking a significant milestone in my career trajectory within City Beach. What resonates with me about City Beach is its dynamic nature, characterised by constant evolution. Each day presents new challenges and opportunities for growth, and an environment that thrives on adaptability. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my role is witnessing the amount of career development, growth opportunity and accomplishments of my team members.

Watching them excel in their roles, whether through advancement to higher positions or performing their best within their stores, this is what I love about City Beach.

I've spent a total of almost 12 years with City Beach, first being hired as a casual Retail Team Member at the Morayfield store in 2012.

I progressed through multiple QLD stores in both Retail Supervisor and Visual Merchandising roles. After a brief break from the company, I returned in 2021 as an Assistant Store Manager in Kawana on the Sunshine Coast and from there, was given the opportunity to head 2 hours away to Toowoomba to train and develop the management team. Following that, I was offered the position of NSW Region Support mid-2022, which I accepted and made the move 11 hours from home to Sydney. I've now been the Area Manager here on a maternity leave contract for 6 months.

I don't enjoy being stagnant and I think that's what I love most about City Beach – there is significant progression opportunities within the business and so many different avenues you can explore, whether that be within Retail, Head Office or the DC.

I started with City Beach in 2012, as a Seasonal Retail Team Member at the Airle Beach store. When I first joined City Beach, I was looking for a company I could grow and learn with and have a long-term career.

At the time, I was so unaware of the journey that I had begun. After 2 years of learning all roles within the Airlie Beach store, I decided I wanted to learn more. With the support of my management team and my Regional Manager, I made the move to Brisbane to continue my career in retail management. Working in multiple stores and running the flagship store in Queen Street as the Store Manager for 3 years, I had experienced and gained a world of knowledge in retail management. This drove me into supporting the Regional Management & Compliance Department for all of Queensland, which only inspired me to grow more.

In 2023, I joined the People & Culture team as a People Experience Coordinator, with a recent promotion to People Experience Lead. Reflecting on my journey, I would not have achieved these opportunities without the continuous coaching, support and guidance from my teams and managers. The people of City Beach are truly one of kind.

Walking into the Surfers Paradise City Beach store 15 years ago as a little Christmas casual, I had no idea how impactful that would be on my life.

I always wanted to work for this quintessential Australian Surf Fashion icon, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities the company has offered me over the years and to still be kicking around today. I always had a passion for the merchandising side of retail so when I finished school, I worked my way through various stores and merchandising positions across Gold Coast and Brisbane. One day, I was given the opportunity to support a store opening and that changed everything for me. I jumped ship to the Store Operations team nearly 3 years ago and I'm incredibly grateful to have been offered the opportunity to be the Head of Operations for the last 2 years.

The experiences and people I have met have helped shape the person I am today and lead to my dream job in Store Operations. There is never a dull moment in this fast-paced environment, and that's exactly why I love coming to work every day.

I first started with City Beach as a young school kid who was very keen to work in the retail industry. I began as a School Based Trainee in 2014 at the old Australia Fair store. I completed my Certificate III in Business and continued on as a casual employee.

I was very eager to learn different areas to the business. The Surfers Paradise store would often call up needing extra staff to which I would jump at. I loved how fast paced the Surfers Paradise store was and eventually asked to transfer there as a casual. After graduating school, I became a full-time Retail Supervisor at Surfers Paradise. After 2 years in this role, I was offered a position as Store Manager back at my home store of Australia Fair. I spent a year as the Manager of Australia Fair before its closure. I have since jumped back to Surfers Paradise as the Assistant Store Manager and progressed to my current role – Store Manager of Surfers Paradise.

Over my 10 years at City Beach, I’ve learned so much as a person and an employee. I have met so many people and created countless friendships that I’m very grateful for. I really enjoy the role I’m currently in and am excited for what the future holds.
