The National Basketball League is regarded as one of the premier basketball leagues in the world, home to some of the world's best players, and truly a sports entertainment experience like no other. We're a league that's growing fast, thinking big and constantly raising the bar. If you're passionate about sport and want to be part of something that's genuinely on the rise, you'll find your place here.

The Role

You will support the Chief Corporate & Governance Officer across discrete governance and legal workstreams and projects.
Prepare board and Governance and Risk Committee papers
Lead and support governance projects and policy implementation underway at the League
Support the company secretarial function across NBL Group entities: resolutions, minutes and agendas
Support corporate structuring matters across the NBL Group
Draft and negotiate commercial agreements with confidence
Turn around legal research and advice at pace

Based in Cremorne, 3 to 4 days a week, for an immediate start.

Who We're Looking For

You take carriage of what is in front of you. You know when something needs to go straight to the CCGO and when you can simply get on with it.
Admitted Australian legal practitioner, 5 to 8 years PQE
Robust grounding in corporate governance and compliance




Experience running or supporting litigation and tribunal matters
