Head Of Operations – Digital Publishing & Media

Perth is OK! is WA’s leading independent media company, built to celebrate everything great about living in the west. We’re a modern, digital-first publisher with a strong focus on local news, video storytelling, and multimedia content creation. With over 1.6 million social media followers, 110,000+ newsletter subscribers, and more than 250,000 unique website visitors each month, we help brands connect with local communities through content that is authentic, relevant, and distinctly Perth.

We’ve partnered with many high-profile clients and agencies, delivering content that reaches West Aussies where they are – whether it’s through mobile-first video, breaking news, or branded content. With a loyal following and strong local presence, Perth is OK! is now stepping into a new phase with bigger commercial opportunities on our doorstep. We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on General Manager to help us capitalise on those opportunities and lead the business forward.

Why this role exists

A growing team of 9+, the founders seek a driven and experienced Head Of Operations to take charge of daily operations, enabling strategic expansion into new channels and offerings. Perth is OK! operates across two core streams – organic content and commercial content. While the editorial and social teams drive high-performing stories and day-to-day output, they also work with the sales team and contribute directly to commercial campaigns.

Client relationships are a critical part of our commercial engine, and we’re seeking someone who can bring proven experience in managing and growing these relationships. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving media environment and can help us elevate and streamline our commercial delivery. The Head of Operations will be instrumental in ensuring we not only seize bigger opportunities but also execute them with precision and impact – strengthening our reputation with agencies and direct clients alike.
