The Intro

Own the digital engine and the creative output for a growing national portfolio of sport and recreation venues.

We’re on the hunt for a commercially minded Marketing Manager – Digital & Design to lead how our brands show up online, and how they look and feel everywhere customers meet them.

You’ll take ownership of our digital ecosystem and our in-house design function — partnering with an external agency, guiding the creative direction, and staying hands-on when it’s time to deliver.

 

About Clublinks

At Clublinks, we’re bright, bold, nimble and yes, we like to have fun while we’re at it.

With three key streams, Clublinks Management, Clublinks Padel and Clublinks Communities, we lead the way in leisure and community management, delivering great experiences (and strong results) for our clients and communities. We’re agile, ambitious and known for meeting, and beating, the objectives that matter.

We’re guided by our values Stand Out, Be Awesome, Speak Up and Get #it Done, which basically means bring ideas, back yourself, and keep raising the bar. We’re not afraid to do things differently, and we take pride in delivering innovative, high-quality experiences across our venues.

Our 1000+ strong team is based across sites in VIC, NSW, QLD and WA so there’s plenty happening, and plenty of support around you.
