Love working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same? Then this is the job for you! Sitting within a Marketing Team of 7, you’ll get to showcase your outstanding end-to-end event management skills working on a broad range of events including outdoor expos and music events, cultural events, seminars, food festivals and more.

You’re the person we’ve been searching for if…

• You’ve got 3+ years experience in end-to-end Event Management
• You’re a self-starter who likes to work as part of a team
• You thrive in high pressure situations
• You are the ultimate multi-tasker who has no problems managing multiple projects with competing deadlines at the same time.
• People are your jam – collaborating on concepts, onboarding volunteers, negotiating with stakeholders, liaising with performers – you like it all!
• You’re physically ready to break a sweat and get a little dirty with bump ins and bump outs.

We’d love it if you’ve got some marketing experience to help promote these beautiful events but this isn’t essential.

If this sounds like a job for you send us your CV and a cover letter outlining why you’re the person we’ve been searching for.
