Organisational Capability Manager

Permanent position based in Christchurch   

Cricket is New Zealand’s premier summer sport with 150,000 people currently playing the game, making it one of the most widely played sports in the country.  

 

New Zealand Cricket is responsible for the administration and development of cricket in New Zealand, with delivery of grassroots, club, school and representative programmes managed through six regional Major Associations.  New Zealand Cricket also administers the New Zealand men’s international team, The BLACKCAPS and the women’s international team, The White Ferns, as well as the New Zealand A, New Zealand Under-19 teams and emerging players.

With around sixty employees based across our Lincoln High Performance Centre and our Auckland Support Services Office together with a number of seasonal contractors, we are a passionate, enthusiastic team committed to realising NZC’s mission of “More People Playing, More People Watching” whilst living and breathing our core Values:

  • Cricket First
  • One Team
  • Be The Best I Can Be
  • Walk The Talk
  • Raise The Bar

Appreciate And Celebrate

As part of our strategic focus, we’ve identified the need for a new role to support each Major Association to achieve sustainability in their Districts and Clubs through providing guidance and leadership on such components as governance, financial viability, staffing and community engagement.    

The focus will be on driving a culture of sustainability nationwide, highlighting the importance of the wider requirements of a sporting organisation.  

You’ll need to research how other sporting codes deliver on these components, both in New Zealand and overseas.   You’ll also be liaising with Sport NZ to establish best practice in this area, and then developing suitable training material and resources.

The role is based in NZC’s High Performance Centre at Lincoln University.

The ideal applicant will have:

  • Governance experience gained as a Board member of a sporting organisation
  • A strong background  of managing or consulting on organisational capability
  • Strong management skills
  • A track record of achieving results through others
  • A tertiary qualification in sports management or business
