Dark Mofo is returning in 2026 with a significant offering of large-scale installations, performances, and public activations across Hobart's most unique locations. We're seeking multiple experienced Festival and Event Project Managers to oversee a variety of projects for Dark Mofo 2026.

  • Oversee site planning, development, and delivery of venue/site(s) including required documentation.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for all internal departments (Creative, Technical, Operations, etc.) regarding project information.
  • Manage onsite delivery teams and collaborate on resourcing, design, and operations.
  • Ensure all Health, Safety, Risk Management, permits, and compliance requirements are met to the highest standard.
  • Manage communications with internal/external stakeholders, local community, and surrounding businesses.
  • Support festival management by considering and maintaining sustainability initiatives and venue contracting.
The You:
  • Demonstrated project and production management experience in a technical events/live performance environment.
  • Exceptional organisational, time management, and prioritisation skills.
  • Ability to simultaneously coordinate numerous projects with competing needs.
  • Proven experience integrating the needs of various senior staff (e.g., Creative/Technical Directors).
  • Highly developed interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Assertive, organised, and able to maintain calm under pressure.
  • Solid work ethic with a collaborative and flexible approach to problem solving.
