Operations Manager

Lead the people and operations behind one of Townsville’s established sporting communities.
Established in 1981, Townsville City Netball Association brings more than 2,500 players together across 11 clubs.  From a child’s first game through to senior competitions and representative netball, the Association creates opportunities to play, develop and belong. It also hosts major events, including the 2026 Senior State Age.

We’re looking for an Operations Manager who can lead people, set clear expectations and keep this busy organisation running well.
Working with the President and volunteer Board, you’ll lead a small staff team and coordinate the people and resources behind competitions, development programs and events.  You’ll turn Board priorities into action, monitor budgets and performance, and build strong relationships with clubs and community partners.

About you
You’re an approachable and confident leader who supports people, gives clear direction and follows through.  You’ll bring:

• Experience managing staff, delegating work and developing team members.
• The confidence to maintain clear accountability.
• Strong organisation skills and the ability to keep people focused when priorities compete.
• Sound judgement, practical problem-solving skills and an understanding of when to escalate an issue.
• Financial awareness and confidence working with budgets and reports.
• Clear communication and the ability to build positive relationships with staff, volunteers, clubs and the Board.
• Integrity, discretion and professionalism.

Experience with a Board, committee, volunteers or member-based organisation would be valuable. Netball experience is welcome, but proven people leadership matters most.
This is a full-time role with a working rhythm shaped by the netball season.  Some evening and weekend commitments will be required, supported by flexible scheduling and time off in lieu.
