Event Planner

🚀 HeadBox is on the hunt for an Event Planner to join our rapidly expanding team!

We’re a next generation events agency; combining beautiful technology with world-class events expertise to solve client challenges and create exceptional experiences ✨.

HeadBox partners with organisations to support them in delivering their annual program of events — from private dinners to multi-day experiences. This role offers huge variety and growth potential.

We’re an ambitious team with big goals and are looking for someone ready to join a high-growth brand with an abundance of opportunity.

We’ve built beautiful technology to seamlessly plan, manage, and track events. This is where you come in! Leveraging our ecosystem of technology, this role presents an exciting opportunity to work with our corporate client base to deliver brilliant events.

The Role:

The Event Planner role will be based in Brisbane, with a focus on sales, creating and converting event proposals across Australia and occasionally internationally.

This is first and foremost a sales role — you’ll be responsible for driving revenue growth by converting client enquiries into confirmed events. You’ll combine your event expertise with strong sales acumen to deliver tailored proposals, build relationships with corporate clients, and achieve individual sales targets.

We’re looking for someone ambitious, proactive, and commercially minded — a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys turning opportunities into results.

Minimum 3 years’ experience in the events industry (event sales, venue operations, or event/travel management). Confidence, organisation, and professionalism are essential as you’ll liaise with senior stakeholders and manage multiple proposals and priorities simultaneously.

Responsibilities:

✅ Event Proposals: Qualify briefs, create bespoke proposals, take clients on site visits, negotiate with venues/suppliers, and confirm bookings within set deadlines.

🎤 Client Pitches: Present proposals with confidence, handle feedback, and provide creative solutions.

💰 Sales Delivery: Deliver monthly sales targets and upsell across departments (suppliers, event management, HeadBox Business).

⭐ Customer Service: Deliver brilliant service at every touchpoint — with excellent communication and attention to detail.

🤝 Relationships: Build and retain strong relationships with clients and venues.

Requirements:

📚 Willingness to learn – our industry, tech, and client base evolve quickly.

🔍 Attention to detail – multiple events require strong organisation.

⚡ Hardworking & proactive – wear many hats and bring a can-do attitude.

💫 Be great to work with – embody our values of brilliance, integrity, empathy, and curiosity.
