Join Destination NSW, the champion and voice for the visitor economy within the NSW Government
Clerk Grade 7/8 position with a salary range $113,574 - $125,720 per annum plus superannuation
located in The Rocks, Sydney

About the role

This role will support the planning and delivery of some of the world’s biggest sporting events as part of the NSW Government’s ‘10 World Cups in 10 Years’ initiative, including the Netball World Cup 2027 and Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027. Working closely with the Project Manager, World Cups and Major Sport Events, you will coordinate a range of project management and operational activities to help ensure events are delivered on time, within budget and to a high standard. You will play an important role in promoting Sydney and NSW as leading destinations for major events while contributing to projects that deliver economic, tourism and community benefits across the state.

A key focus of the role will be supporting the planning and delivery of host city activation projects, including the Rugby World Cup 2027 Fan Village in a major Sydney location, alongside city dressing initiatives and integrated marketing campaigns delivered in partnership with Destination NSW’s marketing division. The role will involve coordinating stakeholders, preparing reports and project documentation, monitoring project milestones and supporting working groups and consultations. You will also undertake research and analysis to help identify emerging issues, track project progress and support informed decision-making throughout the event planning and delivery process.

This position will have a requirement to work out of hours, and it may involve evening or weekend work including travel.

About You

You bring relevant experience in the events industry, ideally with exposure to event marketing and the delivery of large-scale sporting or major international events. You are confident working across complex projects with multiple moving parts, and you have a strong track record of supporting the coordination of schedules, operations and stakeholders to deliver successful outcomes. You are comfortable working to tight deadlines and managing competing priorities, while maintaining a steady focus on quality and detail.

You communicate clearly and confidently, with strong interpersonal and negotiation skills that help you build effective working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, including government, event organisers, marketing teams and external suppliers. You are experienced in preparing clear and well-structured documentation, advice and reporting on complex or sensitive matters. You take a practical, solution-focused approach to problem solving and are able to respond quickly when issues arise.

You are highly organised and skilled in project planning and delivery, with the ability to manage timelines, milestones and deliverables from end to end. You are confident maintaining project documentation such as plans, briefs and reporting materials, and you are comfortable working within structured governance and reporting frameworks. You approach your work with energy and initiative, building strong relationships and contributing positively to team outcomes. You are adaptable and resilient in fast-paced environments, with a genuine interest in major sporting events.
