The role

We are looking for a Regional Events Manager to run our events across Australia and New Zealand. You will own a group of cities, from booking venues and leading local event teams to making sure every event is listed on time and sells out.

This is an operations role first. You will also create content for our social channels, but your main job is running great events, consistently.

Run your cities

- Plan and book a regular calendar of events in each city assigned to you: venue, date and format.

- Recruit, train and manage local teams who run events on the night.

- List every event on time with the right details and pricing.

- Track ticket sales and act early on any event that is under-selling.

- Launch new cities across the region using our launch playbook.

Create content

- Run social accounts for your cities and create short-form video such as reels.

- Capture content at events for use in our marketing.

Report

- Keep our events planning accurate and up to date.

- Report weekly to the Events Operations Manager on events, sales and profitability.

Essential

- Experience in events, hospitality, nightlife or venue operations.

What we offer

- Base salary of A$70,000 to A$80,000 plus superannuation, depending on experience.

- Quarterly profit bonus on top, paid on the profit of the events in your region, so your earnings grow as your cities grow.

- The chance to help build Thursday's events business in Australia and New Zealand.
