1 week ago


Abbotsford, Victoria, Australia Harry the Hirer Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

Bring big ideas to life with Harry the Hirer — where iconic events and standout spaces start.

Harry the Hirer is the market leader in temporary infrastructure for the Event, Exhibition, and Corporate sectors. From the Australian Open to the Formula One Grand Prix, our work powers some of the largest public and private events in Melbourne and beyond.

We believe our success comes down to one thing: our people. We're loyal, passionate, hardworking, and results-driven — and we love what we do. We're team players who care deeply about our clients and about building long-term partnerships that last. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-impact environment and understands the value of great service, we want you on our team.

We're on the lookout for a commercially savvy, relationship-driven Account Manager with a passion for both client success and new business development—someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and consistently delivers beyond expectations.

In this role, you'll take ownership of key client relationships while actively identifying and pursuing new business opportunities to drive growth. You'll be the trusted partner guiding clients through the entire journey—from pitch and proposal through to the seamless delivery of high-impact event fitouts and branded environments.

You'll lead end-to-end delivery across a diverse range of activations, including custom pavilions, pop-up spaces, hospitality suites, and immersive brand experiences. Working closely with internal teams (design, production, operations) and external partners, you'll ensure creative ideas are brought to life on time, on budget, and with impact.

Beyond day-to-day account management, you'll also play a strategic role in shaping proposals, responding to briefs, and crafting commercially smart solutions that excite clients and win business. A background in design is a bonus, but what matters most is your ability to build trust, solve problems, and translate opportunities into long-term value.

If you're a confident communicator, proactive collaborator, and natural relationship-builder with a track record in sales and account growth—we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Lead and manage end-to-end project delivery — from brief to execution — ensuring each job meets client expectations and Harry's quality standards.
  • Work closely with clients and internal teams (design, events, ops) to translate briefs into creative, cost-effective, and executable solutions.
  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities to drive growth.
  • Quote projects accurately, leveraging Harry's in-house products and services where possible.
  • Act as the key contact between clients and our operations team, ensuring seamless communication throughout.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations (Engineering, DDA, etc.) and keep projects on track for timely delivery.
  • Build and maintain strong, long-term client relationships.
  • Champion exceptional customer service in every interaction.

What You Bring to the Table:

  • 2+ years' experience as an Account Manager client facing.
  • Experience in either events or construction industry is essential.
  • Knowledge of construction methods, project timelines, risk management, and compliance.
  • Intermediate knowledge of construction methods and project management is required.
  • Able to read and interpret architectural drawings and specs with confidence.
  • Must be able to confidently read and interpret technical drawings and specifications.
  • Experience juggling multiple projects under pressure.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and organisational skills.
  • A collaborative, can-do attitude and a genuine passion for bringing ideas to life.
  • Permanent residency status in Australia is required.

The Benefits of Working at Harry's:

  • Strong salary package with long term growth.
  • Opportunity to earn bonuses.
  • A fun and dynamic team, where each individual can make a huge impact.
  • Regular company social events.
