Event and Commercial Manager
Visa sponsorship
Sales & Marketing · Perth, WA, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Major sporting events across Western Australia need someone who can carry a plan from the first meeting to the final whistle. This Perth-based role puts you in charge of that work, and it also asks you to grow the commercial side: backers, partners and new income for the organisation.
Your days will mix planning with people. One week you may be lining up contractors and volunteers; the next you are on the ground at a race, making quick calls while the event runs. If you have run large events in the Gulf or at home and you enjoy that pressure, this full-time post is worth a look. Sponsorship is available for eligible candidates.
On your CV, name the events you delivered, the fields and crowds you handled and the partners you kept on board. You can map a sporting events and partnerships CV on Build AI CV before you apply.
