- Lead an evolving State Sport Organisation

- Shape the future of netball in the NT
- Based at the Territory Netball Stadium in Marrara, Darwin
Netball NT is the official governing body for netball in the Northern Territory, responsible for promoting, developing, and managing the sport from grassroots to high-performance levels. Netball NT provides leadership, coordination, and support to its five key member associations across the Territory, and also manages the Territory Netball Stadium in Marrara.
Reporting to the Board, the CEO will provide strategic leadership and effective management across all areas of the organisation, ensuring sound governance, financial sustainability, and the continued growth of participation and programs throughout the Territory. This includes overseeing daily operations, managing staff and resources, and acting as the key liaison between the Board, stakeholders, government, sponsors, and the broader community.
Driving innovation, collaboration and growth, the CEO will work closely with member associations to support the delivery of successful programs, competitions, and participation pathways, whilst strengthening governance, enhancing facilities, and expanding opportunities for participation and talent development. A key part of the role will be developing strong commercial partnerships and securing investment to ensure the sustainability of the sport.
The CEO will also manage the day-to-day running of the the Territory Netball Stadium complex in Marrara, with a focus on growing and diversifying the hiring base to ensure the facility is optimally utilised whilst meeting the needs of the netball community.
The successful candidate will bring proven experience in senior leadership within sport or business, with strong strategic, financial, operational, and people management skills. With excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities, you can build trusted relationships with the stakeholder family (including members, Netball Australia, Government, staff, volunteers and commercial partners), and are confident representing the organisation in public and media forums. You have the ability to think strategically, lead collaboratively, and the capacity to work effectively with a volunteer Board.
While prior experience in a comparable CEO role will be highly regarded, candidates ready to apply experiences gained from a similarly scaled leadership role will also be considered. Experience from within a sport or not-for-profit member based organisation would be an advantage.
This is a unique opportunity to lead the growth of an evolving state sport organisation. A background in netball is not required; however you must be committed to driving the growth of all levels of netball throughout the NT.
