About us: Fitzroy Lions Soccer Club was established in 2013 to ensure kids living in public housing in Melbourne's inner north had opportunities to play sport, and to unite families of all backgrounds through the 'world game'.

One of our core missions is to remove any barriers to accessing organised sport. That's why Fitzroy Lions is completely free to play – the only registered soccer club in Victoria to offer this. No club fees, no registration fees, and all kit is provided free of charge.

Alongside our junior teams, we also run community outreach and after-school programs. 

The role:

We are seeking a partnerships manager to help us diversify our funding and get more corporate and private sponsors onboard. This will ensure Fitzroy Lions can continue to meet growing demand and serve the community. Our current funding means we are unable to expand while remaining sustainable, and we are having to turn kids away.

Responsibilities

• Developing a pipeline of new prospects and opportunities to build sustainable and meaningful partnerships that create value for both parties
• Building and managing financially strong and mutually beneficial corporate relationships
• Managing all reporting requirements
• Managing marketing opportunities to tell the organisations' join story - eg social media posts, logo placements etc

This role would suit a proactive person with strong existing networks and an understanding of corporate environments.
