Events Manager

Events Manager

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced and driven Events Manager to take ownership of our events operation at a busy hospitality venue in Parramatta.

The events business already has an established structure and has been successfully operating for the past four years. We’re now looking for a new leader to build on what works while bringing fresh ideas, creativity and energy to the role.

You’ll manage the full events process from initial enquiry and sales through to planning, coordination and delivery. You’ll work closely with clients, suppliers and the venue team to ensure every event is organised, commercially successful and delivered to a high standard.

This is a hands on role for someone who enjoys being involved in the detail, building strong client relationships and taking ownership from the first enquiry through to the event day.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing event enquiries, sales, bookings and client communication

• Taking ownership of the events pipeline from enquiry through to completion

• Coordinating private functions, corporate events, celebrations and large group bookings

• Preparing event proposals, quotes, packages and booking confirmations

• Working with clients to understand their requirements and deliver tailored events

• Creating event briefs, run sheets, floor plans and schedules

• Coordinating suppliers, entertainment, equipment and other event requirements

• Managing deposits, payments and booking information

• Working closely with the Venue Manager, kitchen and operations teams

• Overseeing events on the floor, including set up, service and key stages of the event

• Being the main point of contact for clients before and during their event

• Identifying opportunities to improve the events offering and increase sales

• Ensuring every event is delivered professionally and to a consistently high standard

About You

We’re looking for someone who is confident, organised and commercially minded, with the ability to manage multiple events and priorities.

You’ll ideally have:

• 3–4+ years’ experience in events, hospitality events or a similar role

• Strong experience managing events from enquiry through to delivery

• Excellent organisational and time management skills

• Strong communication and client relationship skills

• Confidence dealing with clients, suppliers and internal teams

• A high level of attention to detail

• The ability to work independently and take ownership

• A practical, hands-on approach to hospitality

• Creativity and initiative, with the confidence to bring new ideas

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to take over an established events operation with a proven track record.

The foundations are already in place. You won’t be starting from scratch, you’ll be stepping into a successful structure and given the opportunity to build on it, introduce new ideas and shape the next stage of the events business.

We’re looking for someone who wants to take real ownership, challenge the status quo and bring creativity and energy to an already successful operation.
