Job Description
Help shape the next generation of NSW Touch Football events
n
NSW Touch Football is looking for an experienced, energetic and highly organised Events Manager to lead the delivery of some of the biggest Touch Football events in the country.
n
This is more than an events role.
n
It is an opportunity to play a key part in the next chapter of NSW Touch Football as we deliver our Our Game, Our Future ********* Strategic Plan, grow participation across the state and continue raising the standard of the experience we provide to our players, Affiliates, volunteers, officials, partners and supporters.
n
With NSWTF targeting 100,000 unique members by ****, our events will be central to how we connect communities, showcase the game and create experiences that make people want to participate, return and stay involved in Touch Football.

From major State Championships and representative events through to competitions and other key NSWTF activities, the Events Manager will lead the planning and delivery of a significant annual events calendar across New South Wales.
n
The chance
n
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and leading two Events Coordinators, you will take ownership of the end-to-end delivery of NSWTF's events, tournaments and championships.
n
You'll be responsible for making sure our events don't just run well — but continue to get better.
n
That means bringing together event operations, venues, logistics, people, suppliers and stakeholders while also helping improve the way our events look, feel and are experienced by everyone who attends them.
n
Working closely with our Marketing & Communications team, you'll also help ensure NSWTF events are strong promotional and commercial assets, with quality event presentation, branding,



partner activation and fan-facing experiences.
n
What you'll lead
n
As Events Manager, you will:
n
Lead the end-to-end planning and delivery of NSWTF events, championships and major competitions.
n
Manage event plans, timelines, venues, staffing, suppliers, logistics and operational schedules.
n
Lead and develop our two Events Coordinators and build a high-performing events function.
n
Ensure events are safe, compliant, professionally presented and consistently delivered.
n
Work closely with Marketing & Communications to improve event presentation, branding, promotion and partner activation.
n
Continue to improve the experience for participants, officials, volunteers, Affiliates, partners and spectators.
n
Build strong relationships with venues, suppliers, contractors, Affiliates, Regions and key stakeholders.
n
Identify new ways to improve event systems, processes, delivery and overall experience.
n
Provide event planning, operational updates and recommendations to the CEO.
n
The role is central to creating events that strengthen both the participant experience and the commercial value of the sport.
n
Our Game, Our Future
n
NSW Touch Football is in an exciting period of growth and change.
n
Our Our Game, Our Future ********* Strategic Plan provides a clear direction for the organisation across three key areas:
n
Lead the Team. Support Play. Drive On-Field Excellence.
n




Our events connect all three.
n
They are where our community comes together, where our pathways are showcased and where thousands of people experience NSW Touch Football first‐hand.
n
The Events Manager will have a real opportunity to influence how these events develop over the coming years and help us create modern, professional and memorable experiences across the state.
n
About you
n
We are looking for someone who loves sport and events, enjoys taking ownership and can turn detailed plans into outstanding experiences.
n
You'll need to be equally comfortable looking at the big picture and getting into the detail when an event is being delivered.
n
You will bring strong organisation and communication skills, confidence working with a range of stakeholders and the ability to keep things moving when circumstances change.
n
Most importantly, we want someone who is keen to challenge how things have traditionally been done and help us continue lifting the standard of NSWTF events.
n
The role requires leadership, event delivery capability, organisation, stakeholder service, resilience, adaptability and operational discipline.
n
As any major sporting events role, some weekend and out-of-hours work will be required across the year.
