Event Manager

Location: South Melbourne

Reporting to: Head of Events

If you are an experienced events professional who thrives on creating exceptional experiences and loves the buzz of live delivery, this is your opportunity to take ownership of a diverse, high-profile events portfolio and bring standout moments to life.

About Us

Aaron Sansoni Group International (ASGI) is Australia’s market leader in entrepreneurial and business education. We have supported more than 700,000 students across 132 industries worldwide. Our programs change lives and businesses, and the demand is massive.

Founded by Aaron Sansoni, best-selling author, investor, and global authority on building business empires, we back our team with the same proven sales systems and training that Aaron has used to mentor some of the most successful entrepreneurs today.

The Role

As Event Manager, you will lead the end-to-end planning and delivery of ASG’s internal and external events across live, hybrid, and virtual formats. Working closely with the Head of Events, you will own multiple events at once, from early concept and experience design through to onsite execution and post-event wrap-up.

This is a hands-on role for someone who keeps a cool head under pressure, loves detail as much as big-picture thinking, and genuinely enjoys working with people. You’ll be the kind of person others trust when the stakes are high and timelines are tight.
