Marketing Events Specialist

Jands | Mascot, Sydney

About Jands

Jands is an established Australian leader in the audio visual industry, representing and distributing solutions used across the entertainment, production, broadcast, education, corporate and commercial markets.

With a strong reputation in the Australian market, Jands operates at the intersection of technology, entertainment and live experiences, working with leading brands, customers and industry partners. Their Mascot-based team brings together marketing, technical, sales, customer support, logistics and commercial expertise in a collaborative and highly specialised environment.

Jands' culture is underpinned by integrity, creative thinking, open communication, respect and a commitment to best practice.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Marketing Operations Manager, the Marketing Events Specialist will be responsible for the end-to-end planning, coordination and delivery of Jands' events program, creating engaging experiences that build customer loyalty, brand awareness, employee engagement and lead generation.

This is an exciting opportunity for an accomplished events professional to take ownership of a diverse calendar of internal and external events - from product launches and trade shows through to demonstration roadshows, seminars, corporate hospitality, training schools and employee events.

This is more than simply coordinating event logistics. The successful candidate will translate business and marketing objectives into detailed event concepts and plans, manage delivery against approved budgets and timelines, and evaluate event effectiveness - including ROI - to continually improve future activity.

The role will suit someone who genuinely enjoys taking an event from the initial brief and concept through to successful execution - coordinating stakeholders, suppliers, budgets, venues, communications and logistics while ensuring every detail comes together.

It is a highly collaborative position with significant exposure across the organisation, including Marketing and Business Unit leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the planning and delivery of Jands' internal and external events, including product launches, trade shows, functions, seminars, demonstration roadshows, corporate hospitality, training schools and employee events
• Develop and maintain a consolidated events calendar across the organisation
• Work with Marketing Campaign Specialists, business stakeholders and the Vendor & Market Strategy team to translate objectives into detailed event concepts, plans, schedules and budgets
• Coordinate venues, suppliers, catering, promotional activity, merchandising, technical requirements, registrations, travel and attendee logistics
• Manage events within approved budgets, timelines and delegated authority
• Identify and manage risks, issues and competing priorities throughout event delivery
• Measure event performance against agreed objectives, including return on investment
• Develop event-management processes, tools and supplier information to support consistency and continuous improvement.

About You

Jands is looking for an experienced events professional who combines outstanding organisation with the confidence to manage multiple stakeholders, suppliers and concurrent priorities.

Ideally, candidates will bring:

• 5+ years' experience planning, coordinating and delivering events, including complex events with multiple stakeholders and suppliers
• Demonstrated end-to-end experience delivering corporate, customer, industry and/or employee events
• Experience preparing and managing event budgets and delivering to agreed timelines
• Strong project management and organisational capability
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
• Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of how events contribute to broader marketing and business objectives
• A proactive, adaptable and solutions-focused approach, with the ability to remain composed when priorities change
• Tertiary qualifications in Events Management, Hospitality, Public Relations, Marketing or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.

Experience within a B2B, channel, distribution or technical product environment would be particularly advantageous, as would familiarity with CRM systems, registration platforms, email marketing platforms and contemporary event technology.

Why Jands?

For an events specialist who enjoys variety, this role offers considerable scope. The events calendar spans customers, vendors, employees, and industry audiences, giving you the opportunity to work across a wide range of event formats rather than being confined to one type of event.

Jands also values creative thinking, integrity, open communication, diversity, respect, and best practice, with a culture focused on making a positive contribution to customers, suppliers, colleagues,and the wider community.

The position is based at Jands' Mascot office and will involve occasional work outside standard business hours to support events and business initiatives.
