Account Manager – Event Production & Brand Activation (f/m/d)
Sydney
Full or part-time
Permanent employee
ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY
WHAT YOU'LL DO
We are looking for a Sydney-based Account Manager to lead the planning and delivery of brand activations and experiences for our partners across sport, entertainment, and culture.
This is an events-first role. You'll be on the ground, in the room, and across the detail — managing productions, coordinating talent and logistics, and keeping everything moving across time zones when it counts. Please note: Candidates need to be amenable to extended and non-traditional working hours during live activation windows – combatted by established TIL policies.
As ACCOUNT MANAGER (f/m/d), you will own client relationships and drive end-to-end event production — from brief to build to bump-out. You bring both strategic thinking and hands-on delivery confidence, with a genuine passion for local / global running & football (soccer, AFL, NRL) culture, sport, and community experiences.
