Communications & Events Officer
Balwyn, Melbourne | Hybrid | Full-Time Permanent
$85k + Super

A rare role for a strong writer who also enjoys the buzz of events - this is a genuinely varied position with a member-based, not-for-profit association, supporting both the Communications & Marketing Manager and the Events Manager.

You'll split your time between drafting compelling content and helping deliver a busy events calendar - five major conferences a year (200–400 delegates) plus around 40 webinars. The mix will flex with the calendar: heavier on comms in quieter periods, heavier on events when a conference is approaching. You'll need to be comfortable with that shift and confident prioritising your own workload without close supervision.

We're looking for an excellent writer - someone who can turn dry source material into clear, engaging copy without needing a heavy edit - who has also had some exposure to events and enjoys the variety that comes with supporting a busy conference and webinar program.

Communications & Marketing:

  • Own the drafting of the weekly member newsletter
  • Take ownership of day-to-day social media content and channels - planning, drafting and posting across platforms in a consistent brand voice
  • Draft broader marketing and campaign copy - emails, event promotion, member communications.
  • Help maintain a consistent tone and style across all external communication

Events:

  • Support the Events Manager across five major conferences a year (200–400 delegates) and around 40 webinars
  • Take ownership of running webinars end-to-end on the day
  • Assist with speaker and delegate communications, delegate packs, and conference coordination admin.
  • Bring structure and rigour to event administration and timelines

About you:

  • 3–5 years' experience in a comms, marketing or events coordinator role
  • An excellent writer with strong copywriting instincts.
  • Some exposure to events is valued (hands-on coordination or a supporting role is fine - you don't need to have run events solo)
  • Highly organised and self-directed; you’re able to efficiently manage your own deadlines and workload
  • Adaptable, comfortable moving between two areas of focus as priorities shift
  • Confident working with minimal hand-holding in a small, fast-moving team

This is a strong opportunity for a writer who wants genuine variety - real ownership of content and channels, plus exposure to large-scale event delivery - within a supportive, purpose-driven organisation.
