About the role
Essendon Football Club are looking for a passionate, people-focused Premium Membership Coordinator to help grow, retain and elevate the experience of our High Mark and Gold members. This role is all about creating meaningful connections with some of the Club’s most loyal and invested supporters, whether that’s over the phone, online, in person, or on match day.
You’ll play a key role in driving premium membership sales and retention, delivering tailored campaigns, managing member relationships, and creating memorable experiences in our Premium Member rooms. With every interaction, you’ll look for opportunities to strengthen the connection between our members and the Club, while helping supporters find the membership experience that brings them closer to the action.
From identifying upgrade opportunities and nurturing leads, to supporting match day activations and premium member events, you’ll bring energy, care and commercial focus to every touchpoint. This is an exciting opportunity to combine sales, service and fan engagement in a role that helps our members feel truly valued, connected and proud to Don the Sash.
About you
You’re a natural relationship builder who is passionate about delivering exceptional customer experiences. You understand that membership is more than a product — it’s a connection to the Club, the game and the community that make Essendon special.
You’ll bring strong sales experience, confidence in leading conversations, and the ability to identify opportunities, nurture prospects and close with professionalism and care. You’re confident using CRM systems and managing data to support sales, retention and engagement outcomes. Experience in outbound sales, membership organisations, sport, ticketing or Archtics is highly regarded, but your ability to build relationships and represent the Club with pride is what matters most.
You live our values of Unity, Passion, Excellence and Respect. If you’re motivated by people, performance and creating a sense of belonging, this is an opportunity to help members feel closer to the Club they love.
