Melbourne City Centre, Victoria, Australia Hays Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Your new company

Higgins Coatings is Australia's largest and most trusted commercial painting company, with 25 branches nationwide and over 1,200 employees. Known for its values of commitment, unity, excellence, and safety, Higgins offers a collaborative and creative environment where your work makes a genuine impact.

Your new role

As the Event Specialist at Higgins Coatings, you'll be the driving force behind the company's national events, bringing bold ideas to life and creating unforgettable experiences that elevate the brand and deepen customer engagement. This is a permanent, full-time role based in Port Melbourne, reporting to the National Marketing Manager. You'll manage 15–20 events annually, ranging from intimate local gatherings to large-scale national conferences. These include:

  • National Sales and Operations Conferences
  • Industry tradeshows and exhibitions
  • Corporate events
  • Sponsored association events
Your scope will cover:
  • End-to-end event management: from concept and logistics to execution and post-event reporting
  • Creative development: designing immersive experiences with themes
  • Stakeholder collaboration: working with branch managers, SMEs, and external vendors
  • Marketing integration: briefing designers, managing booth graphics, and aligning with brand standards
  • Performance tracking: using HubSpot and other tools to measure ROI, lead generation, and attendee satisfaction

What you'll need to succeed

To thrive in this role, you'll be a dynamic and driven event professional who combines strategic thinking with flawless execution. You'll be comfortable juggling multiple projects, collaborating across teams, and delivering high-impact experiences that leave a lasting impression. You'll bring:
  • 5+ years' experience in B2B event management, ideally within trade services, commercial industries, or conference environments. You understand the nuances of professional audiences and how to engage them meaningfully.
  • Exceptional project management and organisational skills: you're the kind of person who lives by run sheets, anticipates challenges, and keeps everything (and everyone) on track.
  • A self-starter mindset: you take initiative, work independently, and don't wait to be told what to do. You're proactive, resourceful, and always looking for ways to improve.
  • Meticulous attention to detail: from logistics to branding, you ensure every element of an event is polished and purposeful.
  • Creative flair and a passion for storytelling: you know how to bring a brand to life through immersive experiences, bold themes, and thoughtful touches.
  • Experience with CRM and event platforms: you're comfortable using tools like HubSpot to manage leads, track engagement, and report on ROI.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills: you can confidently liaise with internal teams, vendors, and senior leaders, building trust and delivering results.
  • Flexibility and willingness to travel: you're open to interstate travel and occasional weekend work, with time off in lieu provided.

What you'll get in return

  • Performance-based bonus after probation
  • Hybrid work flexibility
  • Free on-site parking
  • Weekly team lunches
  • Access to industry-leading rewards and benefits
  • Novated lease salary packaging
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Opportunities for learning and development
