AddressCareers at the St Kilda Football Club represent a unique opportunity to work in a dynamic culture, where we recognise every individual impacts team success. It’s a place where we lift, support, and challenge each other to be greater. And in that pursuit of greatness, we embrace the grit our journey requires.
The timing and potential of this opportunity is unprecedented. Last year was the year of exploration in our AFL program, and the year our AFLW team inspired with their most successful season yet. In 2024 we start in earnest the build towards our second and subsequent premierships.
Within our cultural DNA is the ability to harness the power of collaboration, diversity and effort to impact what matters to our football Club. While on-field performance is the club’s absolute priority, we recognise the important role we play in the community and embrace our responsibility to promote mental fitness through the Danny Frawley Centre, social inclusion via the Healthy Futures Hub and continue our long-standing commitments to First Nations people and gender equality.
We understand who we represent, and the privileged position we hold as custodians of a football club built on more than 150 years of history.
