Event Manager

The Company:

A boutique events agency is looking for an experienced Event Manager to join their team in a remote working role based in Sydney. The agency delivers corporate events and experiences across Australia and internationally, with projects ranging from large scale conferences and incentive programs through to executive events, roadshows, gala dinners and smaller roundtables.
This is a hands on agency environment where everyone gets involved and supports each other to deliver exceptional events. There is a genuine all hands on deck culture, with team members equally comfortable leading a major corporate event or jumping in to help with the smaller details that need to get done.

Position Terms:
  • Full Time Permanent Role
  • Sydney based position
  • Remote working role
  • Salary: $90,000 to $110,000 plus super
  • Domestic and international travel required
  • Some extended hours required around event delivery
The Role:

The Event Manager will be responsible for the end to end planning and delivery of a diverse portfolio of corporate events and experiences. You will take ownership of your own events and project workstreams while also working alongside senior team members on larger and more complex programs.
The variety of events is a major part of this role. One project could involve a large scale corporate conference or international incentive program, while the next could be a smaller executive roundtable, roadshow or intimate client event. This is a hands on role where you will work across client management, venues, suppliers, budgets, event production, delegate logistics and onsite delivery.

Key responsibilities will include:
  • Manage events and project workstreams from initial brief through to post event wrap up.
  • Take ownership of corporate events ranging from large scale programs through to smaller roundtables and executive events.
  • Manage client communications, meetings, actions and expectations.
  • Build strong relationships with clients and become a trusted point of contact.
  • Source and coordinate venues, suppliers and event partners.
  • Manage accommodation, transport and travel requirements.
  • Coordinate entertainment, AV and production suppliers.
  • Develop and manage event budgets.
  • Prepare event timelines, run sheets and event documentation.
  • Manage delegate registrations and guest communications.
  • Coordinate accommodation and travel logistics for event attendees.
  • Obtain and compare supplier quotes.
  • Track event costs and assist with financial reconciliation.
  • Coordinate event production and ensure suppliers and stakeholders are properly briefed.
  • Manage onsite event delivery including bump in, registration, supplier management and guest experience.
  • Oversee bump out and post event requirements.
  • Manage multiple events, workstreams and deadlines simultaneously.
  • Identify potential issues early and proactively develop solutions.
  • Contribute ideas to improve event delivery, processes and client experience.
  • Work collaboratively with the wider team and assist across projects when required.
  • Travel domestically and internationally for event delivery.
The Candidate:

The successful candidate will have previous experience within event management and be ready to take greater ownership of their own events and client relationships. You will be highly organised, proactive and detail focused, with the ability to work independently in a remote environment while still enjoying being part of a close knit agency team. This role will particularly suit someone who has an all hands on deck mentality and understands that within a boutique agency everyone contributes to getting the job done.

The successful candidate will also have:
  • Previous experience in Event Management or Event Coordination, ideally within an agency environment.
  • Experience taking ownership of events or significant project workstreams.
  • Experience delivering corporate events from planning through to onsite delivery.
  • Experience across conferences, executive events, roadshows, incentives, gala dinners or roundtables would be highly regarded.
  • Strong client relationship and communication skills.
  • Confidence managing suppliers and event partners.
  • Strong venue sourcing and logistics experience.
  • Experience managing event budgets, timelines and run sheets.
  • Strong delegate registration and guest management experience.
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills.
  • Exceptional attention to detail.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • A proactive and solutions focused approach.
  • The ability to think ahead and identify potential issues before they arise.
  • Confidence making decisions within your area of responsibility.
  • The ability to manage multiple projects and changing priorities.
  • The ability to work independently within a remote team.
  • A collaborative attitude and willingness to jump in wherever required.
  • Flexibility to travel domestically and internationally.
  • Flexibility to work extended hours during event delivery.
  • A genuine passion for delivering exceptional corporate events and experiences.
