National sports organizer managing grassroots and elite Australian football
The AFL operates across multiple tiers—from grassroots participation programs (Auskick, school clinics) through to elite competition and venue management. The hiring mix skews heavily operational (23 of 47 roles), with growing venue and hospitality demand driven by Marvel Stadium ownership; tech stack is media and analytics-focused (Google Analytics 4, Adobe Creative Suite, MuleSoft integration), reflecting a broadcast and fan-engagement organization rather than a tech-first one. Pain points center on participation retention, volunteer burnout, and operational scaling across states.
