Full-Time Consultation Advisor Location: Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Queensland

Employment Type: Full-Time

About Platform Sports Management Platform Sports Management is one of Australasia’s leading student-athlete recruitment agencies, helping talented young athletes earn opportunities to study and compete at colleges throughout the United States. We pride ourselves on honesty, transparency, exceptional service, and putting the athlete first. Our mission is to provide families with genuine guidance throughout one of the biggest decisions they will make.
