Full Job Description

At the National Convention Centre Canberra (NCCC), we bring events to life — from creative gala dinners to large-scale, multi-day conferences, all supported by exceptional service and catering.

We’re currently seeking an Assistant Event Services Manager to join our Event Services team. Reporting to the Event Services Manager, this is a hands-on leadership role supporting the operational management, planning and delivery of conferences and events across the Centre.

You’ll help lead our Event Services team, coordinate day-to-day operations, maintain high service and presentation standards, manage departmental costs and support the delivery of seamless experiences for our clients and guests.

Every day is different, but you’ll mostly be:

Assisting with the operational management, planning and delivery of conferences, events and functions across the NCCC
Coordinating day-to-day Event Services operations to maximise guest satisfaction, service quality and departmental performance
Ensuring events are accurately executed and delivered in accordance with Banquet Event Orders (BEOs), while maintaining data integrity
Supporting operational management across Event Services, Facilities and Stores in line with Fire Life Safety, HACCP, WHS and Security requirements
Working with the Event Services Manager to manage departmental budgets and costs, with a focus on wages, beverage costs, linen and operating supplies
Supporting departmental revenue, GOP and P&L performance and identifying opportunities to drive incremental revenue
Maintaining and using NCCC and IHG operating systems including MICROS, FutureLog, Shiji and other operational tools
Assisting with the management and operation of the NCCC car park
Ensuring function rooms, public areas, back-of-house areas and storerooms are maintained and presented to a high standard
Working closely with Stores, Kitchen, Events, Facilities, Finance and Maintenance teams to support seamless event delivery
Providing leadership, direction and support to Event Services team members, including recruitment, onboarding, training and succession planning
Supporting the development and delivery of comprehensive team training programs
Promoting team engagement, development and a positive workplace culture
Communicating relevant safety information to team members and supporting the identification, assessment and management of workplace risks
Ensuring team members receive appropriate induction, refresher training and supervision in relation to workplace health and safety responsibilities
Supporting and promoting employee health and wellbeing initiatives across the department

What We’re Looking For:

Previous leadership or supervisory experience within large-scale events, conferencing, hospitality or food and beverage operations
Strong operational knowledge and the ability to coordinate multiple events and priorities in a fast-paced environment
A strong understanding of workplace health and safety, HACCP, Fire Life Safety and operational compliance requirements
Experience working with event, point-of-sale or operational systems such as MICROS, FutureLog and Shiji would be advantageous
Commercial awareness with an understanding of wage control, operational costs, revenue and departmental performance
Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail, particularly when working with BEOs and event requirements
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across multiple departments
Strong leadership skills and a genuine interest in developing, training and supporting team members
A guest-focused mindset with a passion for creating exceptional event experiences
The confidence and flexibility to work in a dynamic operational environment where no two days are the same

You'll be rewarded for your hard work with a suite of benefits that supports you and your family's wellbeing, including:

Paid Birthday Leave
Hotel Perks like accommodation and Food & Beverage discounts
Enhanced parental leave
Proactive health days and flexible work options
Your career journey will be supported through our lifelong development program
IHG Career Milestone celebrations
Transfer of entitlements as you move and grow with IHG
Access to our discount retail platform that makes your pay go even further

At IHG Hotels & Resorts, our mission is to welcome everyone and create inclusive teams where we celebrate difference and encourage colleagues to bring their whole selves to work.
