WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We’re seeking an energetic, experienced events professional to join Sauce as a full-time Account Director - Events. Initially the role will be for a 12-month contract period with potential for ongoing employment beyond that timeframe.
While we handle everything from intimate VIP dinners, AGMs and shareholder roadshows to industry conferences for 600, let’s face it; events aren’t always glamorous, so if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves to get the job done, then this position is for you!
Reporting to the Managing Director and with strong working relationships across our team, you’ll be responsible for both leading and working on the day-to-day management of client events. You’ll be in the thick of it – involved in everything from sourcing quotes and suppliers, to attending client meetings, drafting proposals and events materials, and being on-ground to implement event delivery (which means being ready, willing and able to do whatever it takes to ensure each Sauce events goes off without a hitch!).
An excellent communicator and collaborator, you’ll be great with people, committed to exceptional standards of client care and ready to pitch in to achieve the right results for your clients and colleagues.
You’ll have:
- Ideally 8+ years of events experience.
- Excellent communication skills, written and verbal.
- Strong organisational and project management skills.
- Problem solving skills, with the ability to remain calm under pressure.
- The desire to be a team player, who’s happy to get in and get the job done!
- Proven negotiating skills with clients, suppliers and key stakeholders.
- Computer and presentation skills, including MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- Flexibility and adaptable, including being able to quickly respond to changing business needs and priorities.
- Ability to travel for work.
- A commitment to exceptional client service and a positive can-do outlook and attitude.
- Uncompromising attention to detail.
- Confidence.
- A genuine interest in and affinity with regional Australia.
- Good personal presentation.
Desirable, but not essential are:
- A bachelor's degree in events, communications, marketing, public relations or related field (or equivalent experience).
- Strong rural and regional networks.
DON'T LIVE LOCAL? NO PROBLEM
We’d love it if you were local to our head office in Leeton, but what we’re really looking for is the right skillset and culture fit, so if that’s you but you need to work remotely, all good by us.
The only thing is, we’ll need you on the ground for the events themselves, so the ability to travel is a must. Right now, we’re looking at servicing events in Sydney, Melbourne and across regional NSW, with plenty in the Riverina.
We offer good rates, a great team to bounce ideas off, flexibility and for the most part, interesting work - although like we said, there’ll be dull stuff too!
