- Coordinate frequent community events within the Lab to build the community
- Create an environment for internal and external innovation concepts to be pursued without distraction.
- Build and maintain relationships with various stakeholders and provide updates to Senior Leadership and functional teams

**What we're looking for**:

- Demonstrated experience in developing and running fast-growing programs in a technology setting, ideally in a new ventures, accelerator, or innovation-based environment.
- Proven track record of taking ownership and driving results in prior programs, with demonstrated ability to effectively lead and work with a variety of organisations, partners, and management levels.
- You are comfortable working in agile environments that operate at pace and scale, and can work independently while engaging various stakeholder groups to deliver your outcomes.
- You have a true passion for entrepreneurship, start-ups and/or technology.
- Entertainment industry experience is a plus, but not required

**What you can look forward to as an Entainer**:

- Don’t forget our 9-day Working Fortnight
- Did you hear we have free coffee? Our Barista is onsite during business hours
- Dress for your day’ dress code
- Learning and development programs - Udemy & LinkedIn Learning.
- We LOVE Entertainment, and Racing and Sports are at heart of everything we do. So it only makes sense that we provide access to free and discounted tickets to sporting and racing events.
