You don't manage a team. You build the environment that lets one win.
The Tasmania Jewels are the WNBL's first ever expansion club, and this role is the one that makes everything else possible. There is no system to inherit here. You are building it, and the standards you set this season become the standards this program is known for.
If you are the person who has already thought of the thing before anyone asks, keep reading.
About Us
Tasmania JackJumpers are one of ten basketball clubs that form the National Basketball League (NBL) competition. Since launching in 2021, our strong cultural foundations and passionate fan base have led to unprecedented success on and off the court. In everything the JackJumpers do, we represent the state of Tasmania with pride. On the court, in the stands and in the community.
Tasmania Jewels are the newest addition to the WNBL, proudly becoming the league's first expansion licence and ninth team. Built on Tasmania's hallmark qualities of resilience, unity and heart, the Jewels reflect the spirit of the island both on and off the court. With a deep commitment to our community and a clear vision for excellence, the Jewels are committed to establishing a strong culture that inspires players, fans and future generations.
The Role
You are the connective tissue between the athletes, the coaching staff and the operations team, and when you are doing this well, nobody notices the machinery.
- Set and run the daily training environment, courts, equipment and nutrition ready before the team arrives
- Plan and manage every away trip end to end, from flights to game day logistics
- Deliver change rooms and game day environments, home and away, ready before anyone asks
- Own player records, budgets, rosters and schedules so nothing holds up a booking
- Build the systems and structures this new program will run on for years to come
- Keep the Head Coach connected to how the group is travelling, day to day
Who We're Looking For
You are the person who thinks two steps ahead and never makes a thing of it.
- Confident across Microsoft Office and building new systems
- Proactive with suppliers and partners, before problems arise
- Comfortable working at pace across many moving parts
- Flexible for nights and weekends across the season
- Driver's licence and eligible for a WWVP check
And the non-negotiables - you notice what others miss, you bring calm to chaos, and you would rather build the system than wait for someone else to build it for you.
Values in Practice
These are not aspirational. They are the minimum we expect from everyone at the Jewels.
- Mindful - We respect each other, our fans, our stakeholders, our property, our facilities and our competitors.
- Authentic - We represent the Tasmanian community, underestimated, hardworking, gritty.
- Relentless - We embrace challenges, fight through adversity and grind to the final buzzer.
- Connected - We are connected as one club, Front Office, High-Performance Team and players all aligned, working together and for each other.
- Humble - We appreciate and understand it is a privilege to do what we do.
What's on Offer
- Build a WNBL program from the very first day
- Shape the standards this club will be known for
- Join a genuine piece of Tasmanian sporting history
- Be part of the league's first ever expansion club
