Love creating content? Live and breathe social media? Want a front-row seat to the Big Bash season?
We’re looking for a Social Media Specialist to join the Melbourne Stars for the upcoming Big Bash season. This is a seasonal fixed-term opportunity, expected to commence in October 2026 and run through to late January 2027.
You’ll be responsible for bringing the Melbourne Stars brand to life across our social media channels, creating engaging content that connects with fans and captures the excitement of the season. From training sessions and match days to player features, behind-the-scenes moments and commercial activations, you’ll help tell the stories that keep our fans engaged all summer long.
This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. You’ll work closely with players, coaches and the wider Marketing and Communications team, balancing creativity with quick turnarounds and real-time content throughout the season.
What you’ll be doing
- Creating engaging content across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and YouTube.
- Capturing, editing and publishing photo and video content.
- Managing Melbourne Stars social media channels and content calendars.
- Attending training, matches, events and commercial activations to produce real-time content.
- Supporting ticketing, membership and marketing campaigns through digital content.
- Writing website articles, social copy and member communications.
- Monitoring performance and using insights to continually improve content.
About you
You’ll ideally bring:
- Experience creating engaging content for social media.
- Strong videography and editing skills.
- Confidence managing multiple social media platforms in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent written communication and storytelling skills.
- A creative mindset, great organisation and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
- Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and public holidays throughout the Big Bash season.
Experience working in sport or with elite athletes is highly regarded, and knowledge of the Melbourne Stars, Big Bash League and the Australian sporting landscape will be an advantage.
Why join us?
This is your chance to help shape the voice of one of the BBL’s biggest clubs while creating content seen by hundreds of thousands of fans throughout the summer.
