Job Details

The Company:

An exhibition and conference organiser based in Sydney are looking for a great new team member to lead their Conference Producer team. The company are a fast growing business information and networking provider that prides themselves on delivering leading events within their sector. 

Position Terms:

• Full-time,  permanent role
• Hybrid work available
• Salary: $120,000 - $130,000 plus super plus bonus 

The Role:

The Conference Portfolio Director is a true leadership role:  part GM, part creative director, part entrepreneur. You'll inherit a portfolio of established annual events and have real latitude to develop new ones from scratch. You'll own the P&L, lead a team of talented producers, and be the strategic heartbeat of the division.

Key Responsibilities include;

• Own and grow a portfolio of B2B conferences — setting strategic direction and holding full P&L responsibility
• Lead a team of conference producers, elevating the quality of content and programming across every event
• Identify and develop new event concepts, taking them from idea to commercially viable launch
• Become a genuine subject matter expert in your event verticals — sustainability, procurement, leadership, and operational excellence
• Work cross-functionally with marketing, sponsorship, and operations to execute events that consistently punch above their weight

The Candidate:

The successful candidate will have a strong background in B2B conferences (whether as a senior producer, conference director, or in a commercial role like sponsorship or content strategy).  Critically, you understand how the model works: what makes an event profitable, what makes a program compelling, and what makes delegates come back year after year.

• Extensive experience in B2B conference production or event management, with at least some leadership experience
• A track record of developing or significantly growing a commercial conference
• Strong understanding of sponsorship and delegate revenue models
• Sharp copywriting and content instincts
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills
• Ability to think commercially while also caring deeply about quality (and you don't see those as competing priorities).
• Ability to work from the office, located in Northern Sydney.
