Details: Do you love the buzz of events? Do you want to join a dynamic team of commercial and partnership management specialists who play a vital role in the success of Canberra’s events? As a Senior Sponsorship and Partnership Officer you will play a leading role in optimising commercial revenue opportunities for events held by Events ACT.  

You will have opportunities to use your strong negotiation skills to ensure sponsorship and commercial opportunities are maximised for the Canberra Community’s benefit whilst ensuring compliant delivery of contractual obligations. Having a sound understanding of (or ability to quickly learn) government requirements when delivering commercial arrangements will be key to the delivery of successful major and community events.

Your ability to hit the ground running and effectively manage your time will be a key asset in this role as you work closely with sponsors, commercial partners, and internal stakeholders to support the delivery of multiple projects at a time.

You will establish relationships with industry, stakeholders, and partners to develop a strong understanding of Canberra’s events industry needs whilst being able to identify and deliver new partnership opportunities. The successful candidate will be passionate about Canberra and its events offering and demonstrate a strong ability to deliver sponsorship activations and vendor opportunities within the operational environment.

You will need strong customer service skills when liaising with sponsors and partners as well as members of the public attending our events.

You will be working in a small dynamic team of enthusiastic event professionals. Events ACT recognises the fundamental role our people play in our success. We offer flexible working arrangements, including a balance between working from home and office days each week and the ability to accrue (and use) flex. While this is a fast-paced role you will be supported to thrive and grow your skills as a sponsorships and partnerships professional. Our ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about collaboration and feel strongly about building on the supportive high performing culture we have developed here.

The ACT Public Service supports workforce diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace. As part of this commitment, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse people and those who identify as LGBTIQ+ are encouraged to apply. Hear about CMTEDD from some of our staff.

Note:  A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months. This position will be moving to a new workplace designed for activity-based working (ABW). Under ABW arrangements, officers will not have a designated workstation/desk.
