Job Description

n

The National Pickleball League (NPL) is Australia's fastest-growing sport and entertainment business. Founded in 2022, we now operate across four pillars: professional and community leagues (NPLeague), owned venues in Melbourne (The Jar), a global SaaS tournament platform (LADER / NPTournaments), and a multi-sport licensing brand (PARK Racquet Club). We have 30,000+ members, teams across VIC, NSW and QLD, and ambitions well beyond Australia.

n

We move quick. Standards are high. The work gets seen.

The Opportunity n

We are looking for a hungry, junior marketing professional with robust instincts for visual communication and social media. You know your way around design tools, you understand what makes content stop a scroll, and you take pride in getting the details right.

n

The right person will grow into a Senior Marketing role as NPL scales. This is explicitly a stepping‑stone role — but only if you earn it.

What You Will Do Social Media n

n
- Own the day‑to‑day content calendar across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Facebook for NPL, The Jar, and PARK Racquet Club, with direct guidance from the Head of Brand
n
- Write sharp, on‑brand captions and copy in line with NPL's tone – confident, direct, no filler
n
- Schedule and publish content, monitor engagement, and respond to community comments and DMs
n
- Track platform analytics weekly and surface what is and is not working
n

Graphic Design & Content Production nn
- Produce social graphics, event assets, sponsor collateral, and ad creatives using Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite
n
- Maintain visual consistency across all NPL brands
n
- Brief and collaborate with external video editors and photographers when needed
n
- Assist in building out content templates that the broader team can use efficiently
n

Campaigns & Events nn




- Support the execution of marketing campaigns across NPLeague seasons, venue launches, and sponsor activations
n
- Coordinate marketing logistics for events – signage, social coverage plans, on‑the‑day content capture
n
- Help build and deploy EDM (email) campaigns via our CRM/email platform
n
- Assist in tracking campaign performance and preparing simple reports
n

General Marketing Support nn
- Keep asset libraries and content folders organised and up to date
n
- Assist with website content updates where required
n
- Contribute to briefing documents, content plans, and marketing calendars
n
- Be across what is happening across all NPL pillars so your content is always informed and relevant
n

What We Are Looking For Skills & Experience nn
- Confident with social media platforms – you understand the difference between a good Instagram post and a great one
n
- Solid graphic design ability in Canva; Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator is a genuine advantage
n
- Strong written communication – you can write in a brand voice, not just your own
n
- Organised and self‑directed – you manage deadlines without being chased
n
- Basic video editing skills (Reels, short‑form content) is a plus
n
- Exposure to email marketing tools (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or similar) is desirable but not essential
n
- Some understanding of analytics – Meta Business Suite, Google Analytics, or similar
n

You nn
- Genuinely interested in sport, community,



and culture – you do not need to be a pickleball player, but you need to care about what we are building
n
- Hungry to learn and willing to do the unglamorous work alongside the exciting stuff
n
- Comfortable working across multiple brands and projects at the same time
n
- Sharp eye for detail – you notice when something is off‑brand before anyone has to tell you
n
- Degree or diploma in Marketing, Communications, Media, Design or a related field is preferred – not essential if your portfolio speaks for itself
n

What You Will Get nn
- Salary of $60,000 (+super) full‑time equivalent, pro‑rated to 3 days per week ($36,000 + Super)
n
- Real ownership and creative autonomy from day one – this is not a "fetch coffee and resize assets" role
n
- Direct exposure to a fast‑growing, multi‑venue sports business across league, technology, property, and events
n
- Access to The Jar venues (Melbourne's leading pickleball and padel facility) and NPL events
n
- A small, tight team where your contribution is visible and recognised
n
- Genuine career progression as NPL grows – we promote from within.
n
- View to a Full Time role if you are proactive, self‑driven and achieve excellence in the part‑time position.
n

Work Arrangements n

This is a part‑time role structured around three days per week. We are flexible on which days work best for the right person, with 2 days per week required in person at our Richmond or South Melbourne base. The remaining day can be worked remotely.

n

You will work across multiple NPL locations and activations throughout the year – some weekend or evening availability for events will occasionally be required, with flexibility given in return.
