Commercial Growth Manager
National Basketball League
The National Basketball League is a men's professional basketball league in Australasia, currently composed of 10 teams: 9 in Australia and 1 in New Zealand.
Job Posted- 25 Jun 2026
Status- Full Time
Location- Australia
Closing date- 25 Jul 2026
The Role
You own new commercial revenue. The full remit: sponsorship, digital, content, broadcast integrations, and events. Wide scope, real ownership, and enough structure to work within without ever feeling like you're stuck in it.
Day to day, that looks like:
- Build and manage a new business pipeline across all NBL commercial categories: identifying categories, finding contacts, getting in the room
- You won't be working alone - you'll work across content, marketing and digital to put the best possible solution on the table
- Monetise assets across sponsorship inventory, digital platforms, content, broadcast integrations and events
- Take deals all the way through prospecting, pitching and closing
- Develop compelling packages that solve real client problems and align to NBL audiences
- Work across marketing, digital and content to put the best possible solution on the table
- Forecast accurately, report honestly, and stay across what is moving in the market
Who We're Looking For
You see opportunity where others see complexity. You build commercial relationships that last because you understand the people on the other side of the table, not just the deal.
- Proven background in commercial sales, business development or revenue generation
- Experience in sports, media or entertainment, or a compelling story for why these fits
- Demonstrated ability to close complex deals and manage a pipeline with discipline
- Strong proposal and presentation skills: you make the ask compelling
- Excellent stakeholder management across clients, agencies and internal teams
And the non-negotiables: you own outcomes end to end. You bring commercial discipline and creative thinking in equal measure. You are genuinely invested in the sport and the fan experience, because at the NBL, the best commercial outcomes happen when the fan wins too.
Our Values
These are not aspirational. They are the minimum we expect from everyone here.
- Always Think Big: Be courageous. Be open to new ideas. Learn and grow. No limits.
- Be Accountable: Own it. Ask for help. The scoreboard matters.
- Integrity is Key: Act ethically. Act honestly. Keep our word.
- Show Respect: Show care. Listen and seek to understand. Value opinions.
- We Are Fans Too: Have fun. Always consider the fan. Share the love of the game.
- One Team: Communicate. Trust each other. Celebrate the wins. Build relationships.
What's on Offer
- Competitive salary package, commensurate with experience
- A league at record-breaking commercial highs: your work will be visible
- Full commercial remit across sponsorship, content, digital, events and broadcast
- Senior leadership exposure in a commercially ambitious organisation
- A team that moves fast and backs the people in it
