Bring partner brands to life across digital, social and events

Join a league still climbing, with record crowds

Grow your career in sports partnerships and media

You're at your best when a partner's idea turns into something fans actually notice.

This role is about making our partnerships come alive for fans. You'll shape partner campaigns from the first idea through to media planning, content and launch.

It's an established role in a business that keeps growing. You'll learn across partnerships, media and live events, and build experience that sets you up for a long career in sport.

About Us

The NBL Group is the fast-moving, growth-focused, entrepreneurial sports and entertainment business behind Australia's two premier basketball competitions: the National Basketball League (NBL) and the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL).

We sit at the centre of one of Australia's fastest-growing sports. Beyond the two elite leagues, we play a key role in the NBL1 competition and an expanding portfolio of major events and aligned products. We move at pace, think big, and operate as a high-performance, commercially driven, growth-focused organisation, with reach across broadcast, digital, live experiences and international markets, and the ambition to match it.

We are also a business that is deliberately evolving. We challenge how things have been done, invest in new ways of working, and back people who bring fresh thinking to big problems. Change and innovation here isn't a disruption; it's the operating model.
