Build the Community. Grow the Club. Own the Outcome.

Play Nation is one of Sydney's fast growing padel and pickleball destinations, and we're looking for an ambitious
Club Manager
to lead our next stage of growth.

This is not a traditional operations role. We're looking for someone who thrives on building communities, creating experiences, driving participation, and growing a business. You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, implement ideas, and be rewarded for the results you deliver.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Growing memberships, court utilisation, and revenue

Managing Play Nation's marketing, sales, social media, and local partnerships

Delivering an exceptional customer experience on and off the court

Leading day-to-day club operations and ensuring high standards across the venue

Who We're Looking For

A self-starter who doesn't need constant direction

Proven experience in growing a business, community, membership base,



or customer engagement

Strong marketing, sales and social media skills

Commercially minded with a focus on results

Excellent communicator who loves connecting with people

Passionate about sport, particularly racquet sports, fitness, or community-based businesses

You might come from a sports club, gym, recreation centre, hospitality, events, or customer growth background. What matters most is your ability to build a thriving community and drive growth.

What's On Offer

Package circa $150,000+ (including performance-based bonuses)

Significant autonomy and chance to make the role your own

Work with one of Australia's most exciting emerging racquet sports communities

Be part of a passionate, energetic, and growing team

If you've ever wanted to run a sports club like it's your own, build an incredible community, and be rewarded for growth, we'd love to hear from you.
