Who We're Looking For
n
You have a good sense for what content works, and you use data to back that up rather than just going on instinct.
n
n
- Deep experience across major social platforms
n
- Led or managed a team before
n
- Strong grasp of algorithms and what content travels
n
- Experience with sponsor or commercial content
n
- Genuine following of women's basketball

n
What You Need To Succeed With Us

- Thrive in ambiguity and move fast, that's where you do your best work
n
- Champion change and bring ideas, not just execution
n
- Exercise valuable judgment, move decisively and adjust as you learn
n
- Have the stamina and hunger to keep pushing and delivering results
n
- Show resilience, overcome challenges and move on quickly
n
- Flex outside your remit when the business needs it
n
- Make feedback a habit, give it, seek it and act on it
n
- Take the ball, own the play, and communicate directly and honestly
n
- Win as one team, we succeed when we work together, not as individuals
n
- Care about growing basketball in Australia, New Zealand and around the world
n
n
