Events Coordinator

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Event and Conference Coordinator to join the Event Services Team at the University of Auckland, and take responsibility for the delivery of both academic conferences and student events held on campus.

You will need to hit the ground running and be able to multi-task and work confidently under pressure.   You’ll need to use your initiative, and work both independently as well as part of a team.  Reporting to the Event Services Manager, you will work collaboratively with a team of dedicated, innovative and proactive individuals ensuring successful delivery of a wide variety of events – from formal dinners and conferences to concerts and everything in between.

A minimum of 2 - 3 years’ experience in a similar role is required and a qualification in Events is preferred. You must have excellent customer relationship management skills and have experience in conference management. Experience with EventsPro or EventsAir Software would give you an advantage.

This role would suit a go getter with excellent communication skills, effective time management and experience in working with budgets. Experience working within a tertiary institution would be an advantage.

This is a great opportunity to work for an internationally recognised organisation, in a fast-paced, professional environment with flexible hours.

The University has an equity policy and welcomes applications from all qualified persons.

The University is committed to meeting its obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi and achieving equity outcomes for staff and students.

Applications close Sunday 11 December 2016.
