Gelato Messina

Over the past 21 years, Gelato Messina has grown from a single gelato store in Sydney, to a primary producer and manufacturer of incredible gelato, weird and wonderful gelato cakes, couverture chocolate, bespoke event creations and super cool merch - with 30 retail stores selling our amazing products around the country and overseas.

Outside of our stores, we turn our hand to bespoke gelato creations for festivals, national and cart events, brand collaborations and our iconic gelato van.

We're a family owned and operated business, and we like to think we're made up of three equal parts - honesty, hard work and good humour.

We're looking for an experienced Events Team Leader who can oversee the management of our incredible gelato events across Queensland.

You should have a passion for people, food and customer service. Ideally, you will have stellar events management experience. You should have strong leadership and communication skills, and a track record of building a positive and inclusive work environment that fosters teamwork, accountability and fun

You will be responsible for ensuring an exception customer experience at all of our events across Queensland, the recruitment and training of a passionate team of events staff, building strong relationships with our customers, and collaborating with our exceptional Brand & Marketing Team.

We have some pretty ambitious expansion plans for our national events business over the next 12 months, so this is a really exciting time to join us. You will play a pivotal role in assisting our National Head of Events and E-Commerce to develop and implement a strategic plan to drive the growth of our events business, and create a new communication and training plan to support the national team.
