This organisation plays a key role in supporting and connecting professionals across its sector, with events forming a central part of its member engagement strategy.

About the role

As Team Lead, Events, you’ll take ownership of a diverse and high-volume events portfolio — from large-scale conferences and gala dinners to intimate networking events and webinars.

• Leading, mentoring and developing a small events team
• Planning and overseeing delivery of a full annual events calendar
• Managing end-to-end delivery of large and complex events
• Delegating and coordinating workload across the team
• Partnering with internal stakeholders (marketing, design and beyond)
• Managing suppliers, venues and event partners
• Overseeing budgets, forecasting and event performance
• Driving continuous improvement across systems and processes

About you

You’re an experienced events professional who brings both leadership capability and hands-on expertise.

You’re confident managing stakeholders, comfortable leading a team, and still enjoy being close enough to delivery to ensure quality outcomes.

You’ll likely bring:

• Strong experience delivering a broad range of corporate events (large and small)
• Previous experience leading or mentoring a team
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• A structured, organised approach with strong attention to detail
• A proactive mindset and focus on continuous improvement
• Experience within a membership organisation or professional services environment (highly regarded)

Why this role?

• Lead a well-established and capable team
• Own a diverse, high-volume events portfolio
• Join a respected, purpose-led organisation with strong industry presence
• Hybrid working environment (Brisbane-based)
• A genuine opportunity to shape and influence how events are delivered

Additional information

• Some out-of-hours work required (with time in lieu provided)
• Occasional travel within South East Queensland and regional areas

If you’re looking for a role where you can combine leadership, stakeholder engagement and high-quality event delivery in a fantastic organisation, this is a strong next step.
