Drive Sales. Create Memorable Events. Deliver Genuine Hospitality.
At Peakhurst Hotel, we're looking for a commercially minded and hospitality-driven Events Manager to lead our events business and help drive the next phase of growth.
This is not a traditional administration-focused events role. We're seeking a passionate sales professional who thrives on building relationships, converting enquiries into bookings, identifying new business opportunities and delivering exceptional event experiences from enquiry through to execution.
Working closely with venue leadership, kitchen and operations teams, you'll play a key role in growing event revenue while ensuring every function reflects the genuine hospitality our guests know us for.

- Lead service delivery and troubleshoot issues in real time.
- Work closely with venue teams to ensure food, beverage and service standards are delivered to a high level.
- Maintain strong client relationships to encourage repeat business and referrals.
