We are looking for a commercially minded, creatively driven Head of Events to lead the strategy and delivery of standout physical, digital and integrated experiences across BINGE, Kayo Sports and DAZN Australia.

This is a 9 month Maternity leave contract.

Reporting to the Director of Communications, you’ll turn brand, content, sport and entertainment priorities into culturally relevant activations, events, partnerships and moments that audiences want to talk about and share.

• Lead major external, stakeholder and partner events, including the Foxtel Media Upfront, Winter Codes at Parliament House and national end-of-year events.

• Establish scalable frameworks and best-practice ways of working that raise the quality and consistency of experiential activity across the portfolio.
• Define and evaluate success across brand impact, audience engagement, earned media, social amplification, stakeholder value and commercial outcomes.
• Influence and align senior stakeholders across Communications, Marketing, Brand, Content, Sales, Partnerships, Commercial, Legal and Finance.

• Strong experience in integrated communications and 360‑degree marketing, spanning earned, owned and paid channels.
• A proven ability to develop distinctive, culturally relevant brand experiences that drive visibility, engagement and conversation.
• Excellent creative, written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to turn ideas into compelling briefs, plans and outcomes.
• Strong commercial acumen and experience managing budgets, suppliers, contracts and business cases.
• Exceptional organisation, accountability and attention to detail in fast‑paced environments.
• Sound judgement and confidence navigating complex or ambiguous situations.
• The ability to work autonomously while bringing diverse teams and stakeholders together.
• A collaborative leadership style that coaches others, raises standards and creates alignment.

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Experience in influencer and talent engagement, including strategy, identification, relationship management and optimisation.

• An established network across Australian talent, creators, agencies, suppliers or industry partners.
• A strong instinct for creating highly shareable moments that build audience connection and brand relevance.
