A league breaking records. A new role. Yours to shape.
This role sits inside the team responsible for how the league is seen and heard across media, fans and the public.
It is a coordination role, not a senior one. But the work is real and the environment is serious. If you are early in your communications career and want to do it inside a league that is genuinely growing, this is worth a look.
About Us
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 rapid, 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 coordinate how the NBL shows in the media, and you take real pride in that.
Day to day, you will be:
Nurturing media relationships across print, digital and broadcast so the league always has warm, reliable contacts
Drafting and distributing media materials including press releases and media kits that reflect the quality of the NBL brand
Handling media enquiries with confidence, escalating complex matters so nothing falls through the cracks
Pitching stories that earn meaningful coverage and build profile around games, players and events
Writing across press releases, social, newsletters and website updates in the League's voice, consistently
Supporting live game and event coverage including press conferences and interviews
Delivering integrated communications for major moments including Finals, Awards and community programmes
Who We're Looking For

Hold a current driver's licence and Working With Children Check
And the non-negotiables: you are genuinely interested in sport. You follow the game, you understand the media landscape, and you care about how a league like this shows up publicly. You are the kind of person who reads a press release and immediately thinks of how to make it land harder.
