– Membership increase and engagement
– Sponsorship revenue development
– Community and stakeholder engagement
– Increase revenue for our Red and Black Foundation.

The position reports to the Board and the candidate will have experience in preparing monthly and ad hoc reporting in respect to KPI’s and other relevant performance measures.

Although not a prerequisite, experience in sports administration and/or NRL/NSWRL engagement would be advantageous.
