As custodians of the sport, we work closely with Cricket Australia, the seven other State and Territory Associations and our members to serve and grow the game. Our purpose is to unite and inspire our community through cricket, and our vision is to create a thriving sport for all. 

About the role 

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Head of Events, Communications and Marketing is a key senior leadership role that is primarily accountable for:
