Deliver signature events and attract high-value destination events to one of Australia's most naturally beautiful destinations.

The Opportunity

• Coordinate destination wedding attraction initiatives with local venues and operators to further position The Tweed as a leading wedding destination.

About You

• You are an experienced events professional with strong end-to-end event delivery experience and a clear understanding of the role events play in driving visitation and destination growth.
• You bring demonstrated experience delivering large-scale or destination events, including planning, supplier management, budgeting, risk management and post-event evaluation.
