Pride Cup is an Australian led initiative that began as a powerful gesture of mate-ship at the Yarra Glen Football and Netball Club to support an LGBTI+ player to feel included and accepted. 8 years on, Pride Cup is now influencing real cultural change in sporting clubs across the country, running hundreds of events celebrating LGBTI+ inclusion across 11 sports throughout Australia.
At Pride Cup, we know that Sport can be an important and persuasive engagement tool for diversity and inclusion initiatives.
80% of LGBTI+ Australians still don’t feel secure in being open about their sexuality within a sporting club context and 75% of LGBTI+ Australians don’t even feel safe enough to attend a sporting game due to the fear of harm or ridicule.
This has a huge impact on the mental health and wellbeing of LGBTI+ Australians, who aren’t afforded the benefits of sport & physical activity that their heterosexual peers are, causing even more harm to the health and wellbeing of LGBTI+ Australians who are already at the highest risk of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideations of any other communities.
However, Pride Cup is changing this - since our inception, Pride Cup has grown exponentially and has run events throughout the Nation from Cairns to Swan Hill, ultimately changing regional and rural attitudes toward inclusion and diversity - but this is just the beginning - with more and more sports clubs from around Australia and New Zealand signing up every day.
At Pride Cup, we attribute much of our success to the strength of our positive storytelling, traditional & social media and marketing. To build on this momentum, we will be expanding our team with the creation of a new role: Marketing and Media Coordinator.
The successful candidate will work alongside Pride Cup’s Liaison Manager and CEO, and in collaboration with more than 250 community and elite sporting clubs around Australia, to help create successful and impact-driven Pride-themed events.
The core of the Marketing and Media Coordinator’s role focuses on the expansion of Pride Cup’s 2021 - 2024 goals and operations.
From day one, the Marketing and Media Coordinator will contribute to existing marketing programs, and assist with the development of new initiatives aligned with Pride Cup’s operational goals and aspirations.
The ideal candidate will have prior experience with a wide range of marketing functions, including Social media, branding, digital marketing, and communications, and will be an organised multitasker, able to handle a diverse set of projects and tight deadlines.
This role will report to the Pride Cup management team.
This role will require weekend work during Pride Cup’s busy sporting seasons which will be included in the role’s contracted hours of operation.
Pride Cup is an equal opportunity employer and we encourage candidates from multicultural, indigenous & Torres strait islander, LGBTI+ communities and those living with a disability to apply for this role.
