We’re looking for a driven National Diversity & Inclusion Participation Lead to join our Community Cricket team. You don’t need to be a Cricket wizz to be successful in this role, we’re looking for someone who is passionate about using their influencing and entrepreneurial skills to connect communities by creating engaging opportunities for physical activity for everyone!
Reporting to the Senior Manager Participation you’ll be responsible for creating greater connection in the Australian community leveraging cricket as the vehicle and growing the diversity of cricket’s participation.

- Driving real, impactful change in Australian communities via growing cricket’s participation in targeted under-represented community segments (particularly Multicultural, First Nations people and people with a disability).
- Drive the implementation and ongoing refinement of the Australian Cricket Inclusion & Diversity Participation Strategy.
- Develop and enhance cricket’s partnerships with key community stakeholders.
- Leading the broader Australian Cricket network to drive activity and outcomes in targeted areas.
