Job description

Jomablue is a premium enterprise event technology company, trusted by some of the world's leading organisations to deliver complex, high-stakes events.

With over 25 years in the events industry, that heritage shows in everything we build and every event we deliver. Named ‘Best Event Management Platform’ at the Event Technology Awards and certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’, the recognition reflects what we have always believed: that the people in our team matter as much as the experiences we create for our customers.

Our customers range from global tech giants to iconic Australian brands, and they come back to us because of two things: the quality of our technology and solutions, and the quality of the people behind it.

We are a close, passionate team of genuine human beings who love what we do. The kind of team where people laugh hard, hold each other to a high standard, and actually want to come to work!

If you want to do meaningful work, at a company that is growing and continues to prove itself . . this is your chance.

The Role

The Event Project Manager reports to the Senior Manager, Sydney Hub and plays a critical leadership role in our Professional Services team. You will take ownership of high-profile customer projects, oversee operational delivery, and help shape the growth of our Sydney Hub.

This role goes beyond individual project management—you'll also contribute to refining our delivery operations, mentoring team members, and contributing to how we develop global processes that support our scaling teams. You will work closely with the Senior Manager to lead operational and delivery responsibilities, helping ensure our new hub is efficient, customer-centric, and strategically aligned with Jomablue’s global standards.

You must be motivated and passionate about great service. Within a small team, you understand that working closely with others and pitching in when necessary helps our team be stronger and reach our goals.
