About Us

At Sportsbet, we’re united behind our purpose to Bring Excitement to Life for over 2.4 million customers. We do this by delivering fun, challenging the status quo, and living our values. As part of the global Flutter Group, we’re a major player internationally—but in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin, we’re a tight‑knit team of 1,300+ teammates (with over half in Tech & Data Science).

Our commitment to responsible gambling is genuine and demonstrated through the wide range of responsible gambling initiatives and tools. We’re proud to be the leaders in responsible gambling in our industry, not just locally, but globally.

 

About The Role

We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes TikTok! Someone who spots trends before they break, understands what makes people stop scrolling, and can turn sport moments into content people instantly want to share. As our Social Media Creator, TikTok is the main event, but you’ll be across all aspects of social content including Instagram, YouTube etc. You will lead the charge on bold, scroll-stopping TikTok ideas for Sportsbet while helping shape how our brand shows up across social. You’ll guide a small crew of creators while staying hands-on yourself, making sure everything we post is fast, funny, culturally sharp and unmistakably Sportsbet.

From reactive content during live games to original social formats and creator-style storytelling, you’ll help shape how Sportsbet shows up on TikTok while guiding how those ideas extend across YouTube, Instagram and other channels.  Reporting to the Head of Social Content and sitting within a team of 10+, you’ll lead a team of 3-4 content creators while remaining hands-on in ideation, filming, editing and publishing. Your job is to make sure every piece of content hits the mark in tone, timing, humour and originality.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Be the creative lead from idea through to execution where you shape ideas, scripts, visuals, formats and tone.
  • Champion content that pushes boundaries while staying on brand for Sportsbet and relevant to the audience (eg. Gen Z)
  • Design and produce social content, including video memes, photoshops, short edits, GIFs
  • Confidently use tools like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects, Canva etc
  • Ensure content aligns with wider campaigns, promos, or sporting events.

 

About You

You’ll live and breathe sport (particularly AFL) and be the go‑to for taking raw ideas and shaping them into Sportsbet‑worthy executions that are funny, reactive and relevant in the digital world. It’s fast‑paced, hands‑on and absolutely requires someone who can ideate at speed, direct shoots, finesse edits, write funny scripts and still deliver a meme before halftime.

  • Proven experience leading or directing creative content in a social-first environment
  • Ability to direct creatives, while still crafting content yourself with an eye for what’s trending in sport and online culture
  • An innate sense of humour and timing. You know how to pull the right rein at the right

As part of your application, please share, upload or link your TikTok work so we can see you in action! 

Please note, the successful candidate may need to work the occasional weekend as you cover live games or nights around big events eg Grand Final, Brownlow, State of Origin, etc.
