ABOUT THE ROLE
Managing a market is like setting up a little shopping centre each week, without a roof and four walls. We’re currently seeking a new team member with sensational organisational skills who is ready to be a hands-on organiser at one of our most iconic markets on the Gold Coast.
The market you’ll manage could either be on a Sunday.

Early mornings form part of the role. The successful candidate will need to be ready to go at 2.30am and enjoy long, energetic market days. (approx. 12 hour days).
In preparation for market day, administrative tasks are undertaken, including managing the stallholder application and communication, weekly market site planning, ensuring a good debt management process and liaising with our Marketing team for social media content and customer enquiries. Managers enjoy flexibility throughout the week, with a mix of working from home and coming into our Fortitude Valley office.
The role will also oversee, coordinate, and deliver our annual special events. These include (2) major events throughout the calendar year.
