Retail & eCommerce Lead

About The Business

We are the team of the Mighty West, and we are for the West, fiercely proud of our unique 140+ years Western Suburbs heritage. Our famous Bulldog fighting spirit mirrors that of the West – the west of Melbourne and the west of Victoria - where hard work and standing up for what you believe in matters. While our history guides us, our horizons have lifted, unprecedented opportunities await, and our ambitions loom large.

Our Club still exists to bring people together and create lasting memories, as much as it strives to win premierships. It’s about our people, and their shared passion for the red, white and blue. It’s about ambition, pride, determination, and having a place to call home. We’ll always be entrenched in our community, embracing the beauty and strength in its diversity. It’s the story of what it means to be a Bulldog ‘Through & Through’.

We strive to create an inclusive environment where all are celebrated and belong regardless of age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, religion or background. We are a child safe organisation committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people.

If you are looking to be a part of a committed and passionate team, the Western Bulldogs encourage you to apply for this fantastic role.
