As the peak body for the sport and active recreation in Victoria, Vicsport plays a key role supporting industry-wide, organisational and people development through a range of events, activities and innovative professional development programs. Sport and active recreation is the single largest community sector in the state. For over 30 years Vicsport has represented the sector providing advice, assistance and support to its members and the broader sports community. The constituency includes 16,000 clubs and associations and an estimated 3.9 million participants, paid staff and volunteers who make a significant contribution to the social, physical, mental and economic wellbeing of Victorian communities.

Reporting to the CEO, the Events and Membership Coordinator is the first point of contact for all industry stakeholders and member related enquiries and will support all projects across the organisation with a focus on events and membership.

Vicsport hosts 20-30 events per year, catering to various industry groups from students to executives as well as suppliers and stakeholders. This role will play a key function in event management and delivery, to support the Vicsport team in delivering high quality events. Tasks range from organising the venue and catering, overseeing event registrations and enquiries, and event bump-in/out on the day.

To be considered for this role you will be a personable go-getter, ideally with experience in customer service, office administration and/or event management either from within the sport/recreation sector or in a busy corporate environment. You must be comfortable conversing with a various range of stakeholders whilst providing outstanding service to all. A tenacious attention to detail is essential, along with the ability to problem-solve and prioritise multiple and varied tasks simultaneously to meet deadlines in a fast paced environment.

This diverse role is the central hub for all Vicsport activities and will suit a proficient administrator who is highly organised with initiative, enthusiasm and the ability to write both inward and outward professional correspondence and reports for various mediums and audiences. Tertiary qualifications in Business or Sport Administration would be an advantage.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a collaborative team environment with the potential to grow within the organisation. If you want a career which helps make Victoria the best place to work in sport and help shape an industry we all want to be part of, then we encourage you to apply.

Vicsport has a great workplace culture, with an amazing team who are passionate about supporting Victorian sport and recreation. With the Vicsport 'team approach' to project management, you will be involved in a diverse range of projects across a variety of sports, with access to key members of State Sporting bodies. All staff are invited to attend Vicsport events as part of professional and career development. Vicsport is committed to a gender diverse workplace, with flexible and family friendly work arrangements and hours available. The Vicsport Office is located at Sports House (MSAC), in the heart of the Melbourne Sporting Precinct and staff are provided with free parking and subsidised gym membership at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.
