Are you great at listening and learning from people within the business to help shape stories and improvements? Well, look no further as we are looking for a passionate individual to help take our DE&I strategy to the next level in 2025 & beyond!

About Us

At Sportsbet, we’re united behind our purpose to “Bring Excitement to Life” for our 2 million customers (and growing!). We do this by over-delivering through our commitment to fun, challenging the status quo and living our values. As part of the Flutter Group, we’re a global player, but in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin we’re a tight knit group of 1,300 teammates (of which over half are in our Tech and Data Science teams!).

We are a significant contributor to the Australian economy through racing and sporting codes and we are committed to having a positive impact in society by supporting our customers, our communities and our employees. Our commitment to responsible gambling is genuine and demonstrated through the wide range of responsible gambling initiatives and tools. 

In 2023, we were a recipient of LinkedIn’s Top 25 Companies for our focus on career development and awarded the Top 10 Workplaces for Women through Work180. Our commitment to making Sportsbet the best place to work is never-ending. 

About The Role

Reporting into the Head of Talent, this brand new senior role will sit within our People & Culture function and see you develop a multifaceted DE&I strategy and implementation plan to deliver a range of initiatives designed to create an unparalleled sense of inclusion & belonging at Sportsbet.  This will be achieved through collaboration with the business, strong use of data-led approaches, ERG consultations, and global collaboration with other DEI leads across our Flutter business.

Working with a diverse range of people from different backgrounds (e.g. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from culturally and racially marginalised backgrounds, people who identify as LGBTQIA+ or with a disability) you will put your strong diversity & inclusion knowledge to the test and apply these in an organisational context.

Responsibilities Include:

• Lead the development and implementation of strategic diversity, inclusion, and belonging frameworks, policies, and programs to enhance divisional diversity and reflect community diversity
• Oversee the governance framework and support a range of key strategic plans as well as Employee Reference Groups (ERGs) that celebrate and promote diversity and inclusion to ensure their voices are always at the forefront of inclusion initiatives
• Develop and implement comprehensive DEI strategies, initiatives, and action plans that align with our company’s values and business goals.
• Conduct training and workshops to raise awareness and enhance understanding of DEI issues, fostering a more inclusive and culturally competent workforce
• Contribute to DEI initiatives aimed at attracting, developing and retaining top talent in our organisation
• Provide guidance and support to employee resource groups and affinity networks, encouraging their active participation in promoting diversity and inclusion within the organisation
• Track and help deliver the next interaction of our Reconciliation Action Plan
• Collaborate with HR, leadership, and various teams to integrate DE&I principles into recruitment, hiring, onboarding, training, and career development processes (Employee Experience)
• Proactively lead gender initiatives aimed at attracting, developing and retaining top talent in our organisation

Please note, given our Christmas period closure, this role will close on Sunday 5th January 2025, with candidate shortlisting beginning the week commencing the 6th of January 2025.

About You

You challenge yourself to do things differently & go the extra mile to overdeliver on excitement!  Along with this, you will have:

• Experience working with a diverse range of people from different backgrounds in a corporate environment
• Proven work experience as a DE&I Manager, Diversity Officer, or in a similar role, with a focus on implementing successful strategies and programs
• In-depth knowledge of DE&I principles, best practices, and emerging trends in diversity and inclusion
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and influence stakeholders to champion DE&I initiatives
• Ability to understand and use data to shape initiatives and deliver upon multiple activities or projects
