Tertiary qualifications in one of event management, marketing, communications or a related discipline will be highly advantageous. Experience using CRM systems and event platforms such as Eventbrite will also be beneficial to your success.

  • Competitive remuneration, including not-for-profit salary packaging options and generous parental leave provisions
  • Flexible work options
