General Manager
Cricket NSW is seeking an entrepreneurial General Manager to drive the growth of the Sydney Thunder into one of Australia’s highest-profile and most successful sporting teams.

You need to be smart, hard-working and collaborative.

You must be willing to do the small stuff as well as the big stuff.

Most of all, you must be driven to build a team and organisation the hard-working families of Western Sydney and regional NSW are proud of. A team that values community, hard work and cultural diversity, and believes that anything is possible with the right attitude, effort and skill.

Your role will focus on:
• Growing and diversifying the Thunder’s fan base
• Driving match ticket sales and memberships
• Building collaborative relationships with sponsors and corporate hospitality partners

You should also include an additional 1- 2 page draft plan for the Sydney Thunder to demonstrate your desire and chops.

To be clear, smarts and drive are ultimately more important than identical experience elsewhere. However we expect you will demonstrate some or all of:
- Energetic, entrepreneurial leadership as a CEO, General Manager or star on the rise
-Ability to create and/or develop a brand and grow consumer and/or commercial revenues accordingly
- Financial acumen with the skill to manage an organisational budget and the mindset to measure and maximise ROI
- Excellent strategic planning skills combined with the ability and desire to execute
- First-class communication skills and genuine regard for people
- Personal alignment with the Thunder brand

Obviously it will help if you love cricket and want to bring that love to others across Sydney and NSW, including those that don’t feel it – yet.

You will report to Cricket NSW CEO Andrew Jones.

As we expect a high volume of applications for this position, only short listed applicants will be contacted, we thank you for your interest in employment with Cricket NSW.

General Manager
The Sydney Sixers, the world’s premier T20 team in 2012, is looking for a passionate leader to take the business to the next level.

The KFC T20 Big Bash League has established itself as the leading domestic summer tournament and the Sydney Sixers, BBL|01 and current Champions League Champions, are on the hunt for a General Manager with a big vision for the future and the desire to implement it with gusto.

With a charter to create Sydney’s best summer party at the SCG for every match, the Sixers embrace their position as the rock stars of the competition. Your job is to get people to the ground to enjoy the experience.

The new broadcast deal will also showcase the brand in living rooms nationally. You must take this opportunity to grow the team’s brand, fan base and commercial revenues.

You will be an entrepreneurial leader who is passionate about growing the Sixers brand across Sydney, NSW and Australia, and about guiding a team of equally passionate staff.

You’ll probably have a strong background in brand marketing and commercial operations as you will be responsible for all commercial results with a key focus on sponsorship, membership and ticket sales.

You’ll certainly enjoy working collaboratively with Cricket NSW, Cricket Australia and a wide range of external stakeholders including fans, grassroots cricket associations, media, sponsors and government. You need strong empathy for fans and an appetite to drive member, fan and community engagement.

Most of all though, you will be smart, hard-working and willing to do what it takes to make the Sixers successful. You will be a doer, not just a delegator, and will take personal ownership for the success of the brand.

If this sounds like you, please send a cover note of no more than one page and resume of no more than two pages to jobs@cricketnsw.com.au. The resume should include both academic and business credentials and the cover note should make a succinct, compelling case for your selection.
