About the Role

We are seeking a passionate and experienced Fishing Manager to lead our fishing department at Karratha Adventure Sports — one of the largest fishing and outdoor retail stores in regional Western Australia.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. You’ll take ownership of the department’s performance, from sales and stock management through to team leadership and customer experience.

You’ll be the go-to expert for fishing in the Pilbara — helping customers gear up for everything from land-based sessions to serious offshore trips.

This is not a small shop role. It’s an opportunity to take full ownership of a major department within a well-established and growing business.

With over 1300m² of retail space across two levels, this is a dynamic retail environment where strong leadership, organisation, and initiative are essential.
