Are you an experienced events or brand activation professional who loves bringing ideas to life, creating memorable experiences and managing projects from concept through to execution?

Joining a collaborative, people-focused marketing team, you'll enjoy plenty of autonomy, creative input and the opportunity to support the development of a junior team member.

The role Reporting to the Head of Marketing, you'll work closely with Marketing, Sales and Partnerships to deliver memorable experiences that strengthen client relationships and bring the brand to life.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Plan and deliver corporate events, client experiences, conferences and brand activations from concept through to execution.
• Lead key anniversary celebrations and contribute to a major business-wide conference in 2027.

• Develop creative experiences and activations that support brand awareness and client engagement.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure events align with business objectives.
• Evaluate event performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Provide day-to-day guidance and mentoring to an Events Coordinator.

You'll be a confident, hands-on events professional who combines creativity with strong organisational skills and enjoys seeing projects through from start to finish. We're open to candidates from both in-house and agency backgrounds, particularly those experienced in corporate events, experiential marketing, brand activations or client engagement.

*Please note this role requires full, unrestricted Australian working rights*

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Proven experience delivering events, conferences or brand activations end to end.
• Strong project management, budget and supplier management capabilities.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and exceptional attention to detail.
• Experience managing or mentoring junior colleagues, formally or informally.

Experience in financial services, healthcare or professional services is advantageous but not essential.

What's on offer?

• $95,000-$110,000 on a 14–15 month fixed-term contract.
• An exciting calendar of major events, brand activations and milestone celebrations.
• A supportive, collaborative culture that values creativity, initiative and professional development.
