Digital and Social Platforms Manager – SEN TEAMS

About the Role

This is a rare opportunity to work at the core of Australian women’s sport. As Digital Platforms Manager, you’ll sit at the intersection of three elite teams — Melbourne Mavericks, Bendigo Spirit and Perth Lynx — bridging the relationships between clients, sponsors, athletes and fans.

You’ll manage a small team of freelance content creators, commissioning engaging content that meets client and sponsor needs while entertaining fans across every platform. You’ll take creative concepts from client briefs and bring them to life quickly, cleverly, and on brand.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for someone who thrives on organisation, moves fast, thinks creatively, and communicates brilliantly under pressure.
