About the Role
Youll coordinate small to medium?scale corporate events end?to?end turning briefs into budgets, timelines and operational plans, then leading execution through to post?event reconciliation and reporting.

Drive financial processes: load and track POs, supplier registrations and invoices; prepare cash?flow and income forecasts; complete reconciliations and submit within agreed timeframes.

Manage supplier procurement and compliance: obtain competitive quotes, vet vendors, negotiate terms, and ensure OHS/POPI/contractual adherence.
-
Support business development: assist with proposals/tenders, creative concepts and pricing; contribute to CRM and client retention activities.
-
Uphold policies and SHE: follow company systems and templates; maintain OHS files for allocated events; support audits and risk controls.
What You Bring
-
3+ years solid experience coordinating and administering events/projects; tertiary studies in events/project/marketing/hospitality/public relations an advantage.
-
Advanced MS Office (especially Excel and PowerPoint); confident with financial paperwork and reconciliations.
-
Meticulous attention to detail, time management and multi?tasking; calm, service?oriented communicator who handles pressure and conflict professionally.
-
Willingness to travel, work overtime and some weekends aligned to event schedules.
What Success Looks Like
-
Events delivered safely, on brief, on budget and on time with clear post?event reports and learnings captured.
-
Clean finances: accurate budgets, timely POs/invoices, reconciliations submitted within required deadlines, and transparent cash?flow tracking.
-
Strong vendor ecosystem: vetted, compliant suppliers delivering value and meeting SLA and OHS requirements.
-
Delighted clients: proactive updates, documented scope control, and repeat business driven by measurable outcomes.
Realistic Preview: Rewards & Challenges
This role mixes creative hustle with disciplined execution. Youll juggle deadlines, budgets and on?site curveballs often after hours while earning the satisfaction of seamless events and trusted client relationships. Success demands structure, stamina and service excellence.
