As a Senior Event Officer, you will help deliver the National Multicultural Festival, Canberra's flagship street event and one of Australia's most celebrated cultural festivals. Every year, the festival brings hundreds of thousands of visitors together to experience food, music, dance and traditions from around the world, showcasing the rich cultural diversity that makes Canberra such a welcoming and connected city.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-profile, nationally recognised event. Senior Event Officers may undertake a range of responsibilities including creative program development, scheduling, production coordination, event operations, volunteer management, and community engagement.
