- Represent one of Melbourne's most recognised professional sporting brands
- Hands on exposure across commercial, events and game day
- Game days at John Cain Arena, not just a desk
This is a role for someone who takes it personally when a partner walks away happy.
You'll work alongside our Chief Commercial Officer to make sure every partnership feels looked after, season after season.
About Us
Melbourne United Basketball Club is one of Australia's premier sporting brands with a rich history dating back to the 1930s. Throughout its history, the club has been a dominant force in the development of Australian basketball.
The Role
You look after the day to day of our partner relationships, from first contact through to renewal.
- Be the first point of contact for our partners, day to day
- Deliver every sponsorship entitlement on time and to the standard partners expect
- Bring forward activation ideas that keep partners engaged
- Keep budgets, forecasts and account records accurate and current
- Represent the club on game day, from signage to event set up and pack down
- Support renewals and flag new opportunities as you spot them
- Keep the CCO up to date on how each partnership is tracking
This is an office based role in Melbourne, with evenings, weekends and game days required through the NBL season.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who takes real pride in how a partner is looked after, not just what gets ticked off.
- 3-5 years in partnerships, sponsorship or account management
- Comfortable with budgets, reporting and day to day admin
- Confident holding multiple accounts without losing detail
- Genuinely enjoys game day energy, not just the planning
- Sport, major venue or league experience is a plus
And the non-negotiables - you say ours, not mine, you're never too big for the small things, and you hold yourself to a standard partners notice, even when no one's watching.
Must Have Values
These are not aspirational, they are the minimum we expect from everyone here.
Selfless
- You are ALL IN
- You are never too big to do the little things
- You are a team player, who is happy to say 'ours' instead of 'mine'
- You focus on how to improve and empower others
Inclusive
- You treat everyone equally
- You promote diversity and equality
- You make everyone feel important and welcome through your manner and your actions
- You work for the common good, even if it means that someone else benefits more than you
Excellence
- You strive to be the best in anything you do
- You are always challenging yourself and raising the bar
- We aim to be first to market and we push the boundaries
- You follow through and take full responsibility end to end, even if other stakeholders are involved
If this sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.
