$100-$120K depending on experience

Do you live and breathe events? Love the buzz of a packed exhibition floor, the challenge of pulling the pieces together, and the satisfaction of seeing it all run seamlessly?

The Australian Gift & Homewares Association (AGHA) is seeking an experienced and dynamic Events Manager with at least 8+ years' experience to deliver our national calendar of events — including the iconic Sydney and Melbourne Gift Fairs, networking functions, and member activations. This is your chance to take ownership of high-profile industry events and showcase your expertise on a national stage.

About the Role

As Events Manager, you'll oversee the end-to-end delivery of AGHA's events — from strategy, budgets, and supplier negotiations through to logistics, onsite operations and post-event evaluation. You'll work closely with exhibitors, venues, and contractors, while leading and mentoring a dedicated events assistant.

You'll play a key role in shaping the experiences that bring our industry together and ensure every event is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest professional standard.

What You'll Do
  • Plan, manage and deliver AGHA's trade fairs, networking events and member functions.
  • Oversee event budgets, financial reporting, and supplier negotiations.
  • Lead venue, supplier, and contractor management.
  • Coordinate logistics, exhibitor services, floorplans, and service orders.
  • Manage and support event staff and contractors during move-in, delivery, and move-out.
  • Ensure compliance with WHS/OH&S standards and AGHA policies.
  • Conduct post-event evaluations and drive continuous improvement.
About You
  • Experienced in managing large-scale trade fairs, conferences, or business events.
  • Highly organised with strong project management skills and exceptional attention to detail.
  • Skilled in budgeting, supplier negotiations and financial management.
  • A confident communicator with proven stakeholder management ability.
  • A collaborative leader who motivates and supports teams.
  • Calm under pressure, solutions-focused, and customer service driven.
Why Join AGHA?

  • Opportunity to deliver major events in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
  • Competitive salary package + additional benefits.
  • Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our industry.
