The Ben Campbell Building Group Tweed Heads Seagulls have today announced that Matthew Jobson has resigned his position as chief executive officer of the Intrust Super Cup club.
He has been replaced by former NRL and Seagulls player Paul Stephenson, 34, who has held the position of sponsorship and wellbeing manager since last year.
After two months in the position, Jobson has decided to pursue another career direction.
Stephenson has an extensive business and rugby league history. He was a business development executive with Coca Cola Amatil for four years, worked as a business development manager with Konnect Building before overseeing the Seagulls’ sponsorship and player wellbeing affairs.
A Newcastle junior, he played in the National Rugby League for Manly Sea Eagles (2004-06) and Cronulla Sharks (2007-08), appearing in 55 first grade games. He finished his playing career with two seasons at the Ipswich Jets.
“I feel very privileged to be promoted to the position of CEO at a club I have represented as a player, a coach and now an administrator,” Stephenson said.
“I’d like to thank Matt, and his predecessor Scott Clark who I worked with in 2017, for leaving the club in a good position as we focus on rolling out the extensive strategic plan put in place by the club last year.”
Seagulls chairman Ian Paton is confident that Stephenson will excel in the role.
“Paul is a smart operator with extensive business and operational experience. He’s also a passionate clubman who is well liked and respected by everyone at Seagulls,” Paton said.
“The board of directors are excited about what Paul brings to the table and look forward to him build on the important work undertaken by his predecessors.”
