- Lead an ambitious growth, innovation and transformation agenda
- Shape strategy and unlock recent revenue opportunities through digital innovation, philanthropy, marketing and strategic partnerships
- Help shape ASF’s future as part of a collaborative and ambitious executive leadership team

The Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) is Australia’s leading philanthropic organisation dedicated to sport, connecting donors, businesses and communities with opportunities to invest in Australian sport, from grassroots participation through to elite performance.

ASF is entering an important period of strategic evolution. It is strengthening its role from a leading non-profit sports fundraising body to a trusted partner and amplifier for sport’s impact. This will deepen relationships across sport, philanthropy, government and business, unlock new sources of investment and strengthen ASF’s ability to demonstrate the lasting impact of sport.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Chief Growth Officer will play a central role in shaping ASF’s future direction and next Strategic Plan, translating its growth and impact strategy into clear priorities and sustainable outcomes.

As a key member of the Executive Team, you will lead a substantial multidisciplinary team spanning strategic partnerships, philanthropy, fundraising, marketing and digital engagement. You will unite these capabilities around a compelling growth agenda, build a high-performing and collaborative culture and establish transparent accountability for results.

Central to your mandate will be developing new opportunities for sustainable growth through strategic partnerships, philanthropic investment, innovative products and services and new revenue streams. Working closely with the new Chief Operating Officer, you will identify how ASF’s existing capabilities, technology,



data and relationships can be leveraged to bring opportunities to life through collaboration, external investment and partnership-based funding models. Commercial discipline will be critical to ensuring initiatives are viable, sustainable and aligned with ASF’s purpose.

With Brisbane 2032 on the horizon, ASF also has a significant opportunity to help create an enduring investment legacy for Australian sport, building partnerships and philanthropic capability that extend well beyond the Games.

We are seeking an accomplished, strategic and entrepreneurial growth executive with a strong record of identifying opportunities and converting them into sustainable outcomes. You will bring commercial acumen, contemporary marketing and digital capability and the ability to build partnerships that unlock philanthropic and commercial investment. Experience in leveraging technology, data and customer insights to create resource-efficient growth opportunities will be highly valued.

An influential and forward-thinking leader, you will have demonstrated success leading multidisciplinary teams, driving transformation and building high-performing cultures. You will combine strategic vision with sound judgement, entrepreneurial thinking and the ability to turn ideas into results. Experience within sport will be highly regarded but is not essential, with relevant experience from other commercially driven or purpose-led environments equally valued.

This is more than a growth leadership role. It is an opportunity to help shape the strategy and future direction of a nationally significant organisation and make a lasting contribution to Australian sport.

A competitive total package is offered, including not-for-profit salary packaging, free car parking, discounted gym membership and access to world-class sporting facilities.
