  • Website:
     Manage content, updates, and reporting for SMA's website to ensure accuracy, relevance, and member engagement.

About you

We're looking for someone who is both strategic and practical - comfortable developing marketing plans while rolling up their sleeves to deliver. You will bring:

  • Excellent writing, editing, and communication skills.
  • Strong project management and organisational abilities.
  • Experience delivering campaigns across digital, social, and email platforms.
  • A collaborative and creative mindset, with a keen eye for design and messaging.
  • Confidence working across multiple projects, audiences, and deadlines.
  • Leadership experience and the ability to support and guide team members.
  • Previous experience working in the not-for-profit sector, in particular membership associations, would be looked on favourably.

Why join SMA?

At SMA, you'll join a collaborative, values-driven team passionate about making sport and physical activity safer and more inclusive. We offer:

  • A supportive and flexible working environment, including hybrid work options.
  • Opportunities to work across a broad portfolio - from national conferences to high-profile campaigns.
  • The chance to make a meaningful impact in Australia's sport and health landscape.
