About the role

This role sits at the intersection of sport club governance and inclusion - two areas that are central to what Arc Sport is all about. You'll be responsible for the day-to-day coordination of sport club procedures and compliance, while also driving our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion programs and initiatives forward. From enhancing existing programs like She Can, to supporting clubs in embedding inclusive practices, this is a role for someone who cares about making sport accessible and welcoming for every student.

You'll also manage the sport club funding and grants process - assessing applications and administering allocations - so a comfort with budgets and financial processes will go a long way.

About you

You can write and implement policies clearly, think creatively about how to improve processes, and bring genuine enthusiasm for the university sport environment. A background in Sport Management or a related field is desirable, as is experience in the university sport sector - but what matters most is your drive to make a difference.
