This is an excellent opportunity for a suitable candidate with experience in corporate events, career and employability programs, or similar stakeholder engagement initiatives.
The role will see you responsible for managing the end-to-end delivery of events and other student experience projects, including concept development, communication strategies, event/ project planning and management, logistics, financial administration and post-event review, analysis and recommendations.
ABOUT YOU
The successful applicant will have a strong customer service focus and be passionate about stakeholder experience, success and retention combined with thorough administration, marketing or event planning experience.

In addition, you will be able to demonstrate your ability to adopt new systems, processes and technology quickly and efficiently.
Your current knowledge of trends, best practice and relevant research relating to stakeholder engagement, or career development and employability will enable you to enhance our MQBS programs and provide advice and support to MQBS post-experience students. You will be able to analyse and interpret data and translate that information into reports and papers.
MQBS embraces flexible working arrangements. Some events will be held during business hours at the Wallumattagal (North Ryde) campus, while some will be held in the evening or over the weekend, at the Wallumattagal or City campus and other Sydney-based locations. The successful applicant will therefore need to be open to flexible hours and arrangements that enable them to attend and oversee the seamless delivery of their events.
