Reporting to the Sport Delivery Manager, the Sport Delivery Leader will provide leadership across all facets of the Sport Delivery portfolio in supporting the broader Delivery team.

Specifically, the Sport Delivery Leader will be charged with the responsibility of planning and executing athletics events, including:

• Winter season cross country, road races and relays (XCR).
• Summer season Track & Field, including AV Shield League (AVSL), AV Schools events, Championship events and other Specialist and Club meets.

To be successful in this role, you will be tertiary qualified and/or have demonstrated success in a sport delivery role, ideally at a state sport level. You will have the ability to manage competing priorities and be adept at planning and delivering projects that are on time, on budget and meet strategic targets.

A proven background in engaging and influencing people is essential, with the communication and negotiation skills required to build relationships and elicit cooperation from a diverse range of key stakeholders (internal & external). Experience in working with sporting clubs and volunteers will be highly regarded.

This is a unique opportunity to work directly with athletics clubs and participants at the grassroots level and provide vital support in growing participation across the state. A background in athletics is not essential; however, an understanding of community sporting club environments would be advantageous.
