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 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.

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

Strong grounding in corporate governance and compliance
