Match Operations Officer

The Role

Cricket Victoria is seeking a highly organised and proactive Match Operations Officer to join our team. This is a full-time, seasonal fixed-term role expected to commence in mid-September 2026 and run through to 31 March 2027.

Working across our elite cricket programs, you will plan, coordinate and deliver end-to-end match operations and cricket services for domestic and international fixtures. You’ll ensure every match is delivered professionally, safely and in line with Cricket Australia and Cricket Victoria requirements – from pre-match planning and venue readiness through to match-day coordination and post-match reporting.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment, can calmly manage competing priorities and takes pride in getting the detail right.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Coordinate event briefs, catering, suppliers, venues, equipment and infrastructure for domestic fixtures.
• Work with venue contacts and Cricket Australia to ensure match requirements, venue standards and international fixture plans are delivered.
• Support the rostering of match-day personnel, including scorers, room attendants and match managers.
• Coordinate game-day medical coverage in line with Cricket Australia requirements.
• Manage team submissions through PlayHQ and ensure all match equipment, documentation and venue signage are ready for each fixture.
• Assist with planning and logistics for Emerging Player and Cricket Performance programs as required.

Match Day Operations

• Conduct venue inspections and oversee match-day readiness, including equipment, changerooms, dugouts and medical briefings.
• Coordinate match-day communications, team lists, coin toss procedures and required documentation.
• Work closely with Match Officials, the Match Referee and Event Manager to support delivery in line with Playing Conditions and Cricket Australia policies.
• Manage weather-related procedures, DLS operations and other match-day issues as required.
• Ensure scorecards, match reports and associated documentation are completed and uploaded accurately.

About You

The successful candidate will be highly organised, proactive and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

You’ll bring strong communication and stakeholder management skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities and tight deadlines.

Calm under pressure, you’ll be a collaborative and confident problem solver who takes ownership and pride in delivering high-quality outcomes.
