Additional Information

Reporting into the GM, Marketing & Communications, this full-time role will be based at Sydney Olympic Park, on a fixed-term basis through to September ****. Given the unique nature of the sports industry, and the domestic & global reach of our organisation, travelling and working outside of Netball HQ and traditional office hours may be required from time to time.

We reserve the right to shortlist and interview suitable candidates as they are identified, so if this sounds like you, and we hope it does – please don't delay your application. We do not take for granted the high volume of applications we receive, but please be aware this means we are only able to contact shortlisted candidates.
