Help shape the future of Australian diving.

Brisbane 2032 is on the horizon.

Participation in sport has never been more important. Communities are seeking connection, young athletes are looking for pathways, and national sporting organisations are being challenged to think differently about growth, inclusion, sustainability and impact.

This is your opportunity to play a defining leadership role in one of Australia's most exciting Olympic sports.

We are seeking an exceptional strategic leader to join the executive leadership team as General Manager - Participation & Sport Development.

Working alongside the CEO and key stakeholders across the country, you'll lead the national participation and sport development agenda, helping more Australians discover diving while strengthening the systems, partnerships and pathways that support lifelong involvement in our sport.

• Shape the future of diving pathways across Australia
• Build strong partnerships with State Sporting Organisations, clubs, schools and community stakeholders
• Drive innovation in participation, inclusion and community engagement
• Secure funding and investment opportunities that increase the impact and reach of the sport
• Contribute as a senior leader to the long-term success and sustainability of Diving Australia
