If you love sport, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to be part of rugby league history, this is your moment.

The Opportunity

As we prepare for our entry into the National Rugby League in 2027, we are seeking a visionary and hands-on Head of Technology, Data and Innovation to build and lead the technology foundations of the Perth Bears from the ground up.

This is a pivotal leadership role at the intersection of sport, technology and infrastructure. Reporting to the Chief Operating & Financial Officer, and working closely with every department across the club, you will be responsible for designing and delivering the club's technology architecture, data strategy and innovation roadmap — establishing the platforms, processes and culture that will underpin every facet of club operations as we scale through our start-up phase and into elite-level competition.

A defining priority of this role in the foundation phase is building the club's start-up environment from scratch — including Microsoft 365, SharePoint, intranet, hardware, and the technology specifications for the club's new facility. You will be the person who ensures our people have the tools, systems and connected workspace they need from day one.

This position requires a builder and operator: someone comfortable moving between strategic architecture and hands-on execution, capable of shaping vision while rolling up their sleeves to get the job done. As the club grows, you will have the opportunity to build and lead a team around you.
