Commercial Account Manager - Sports Travel

Now here's a role that's a little bit different...

If you're an experienced Account Manager, Partnership Manager or Commercial Relationship Manager who's ready to step away from chasing sales targets and into something far more strategic, keep reading.

We're representing one of Australia's leading sports travel businesses, partnering with some of the biggest domestic and international sporting organisations to deliver premium travel, ticketing and hospitality experiences.

As their newest Partner Manager, you'll take ownership of one of their flagship partnerships becoming the person who keeps everything moving behind the scenes. You'll work closely with sporting organisations and internal teams to make sure every event, campaign and commercial opportunity is delivered successfully.

This isn't about selling. It's about making partnerships perform.

What's in it for you?

This is one of those rare roles where you'll have genuine ownership without carrying a sales target.

You'll step into a commercially focused position where you'll build long-term partnerships, influence business performance and work with some of Australia's biggest sporting brands - all while collaborating with a passionate team that genuinely loves what they do.

You'll also enjoy:

- Taking ownership of a flagship sporting partnership with real commercial impact.

- Working across marketing, product, sales, operations and finance, giving you broad exposure across the business.

- Building relationships with major sporting organisations and rights holders.

- A role that's varied,



strategic and quick-paced - no two events or seasons are the same.

- Hybrid working (3 days in the Fitzroy office, 2 from home).

- Occasional travel to major sporting events and partner meetings.

- A growing business where there will be genuine opportunities to develop your career as the Partnerships team expands.

- A collaborative, down-to-earth environment.

What you'll be doing

You'll become the day-to-day commercial lead for your partnership, working closely with both internal teams and external stakeholders to keep everything on track.

Your role will include:

- Building strong relationships with key sporting partners

- Leading regular partnership meetings and planning sessions

- Monitoring sales performance, pricing, inventory and profitability

- Identifying opportunities to improve commercial performance

- Working with internal stakeholders to deliver successful campaigns and events

- Preparing reporting and performance updates

- Managing timelines, priorities and stakeholder expectations across multiple teams

- Helping shape the future growth of the partnership

Who we're looking for

This role would suit someone who enjoys bringing people together, solving commercial problems and making things happen.

You might currently be working in:

- Partnership or Account Management

- Travel or Tourism

- Sports or Events

- Hospitality or Ticketing

- Commercial Marketing

- Conference or Event Management

Experience in sport or motorsport would be fantastic—but it's certainly not essential.
