Events Manager
Fast-Growing National Law Firm | Sydney
Ready to take the next step in your events career?
A fast-growing national law firm is looking for an experienced Events Advisor or Events Coordinator who is ready to step up and take ownership of its events function.
This is a standalone, hands-on Events Manager role within the Business Development & Marketing team. You'll be responsible for the firm's events program from end to end, working closely with partners and senior stakeholders to plan and deliver client, industry and internal events across the business.
It's an opportunity to move beyond coordinating events for someone else and take genuine ownership of the function, with the autonomy to bring your ideas, improve how things are done and make the role your own.
The opportunity
You'll manage the firm's events program from initial brief through to delivery and post-event analysis.
This is a role for someone who enjoys both the big picture and the detail. One day you might be working with a partner on the objectives for a client event, the next negotiating with a venue, managing invitations or dealing with a last-minute change on the day.
You'll be responsible for:
Planning and coordinating the firm's client, industry and internal events program from end to end
Working with partners and senior stakeholders to understand objectives and deliver events that support client relationships and business development
Managing guest lists, invitations, venues, catering, facilities and event logistics
Developing event concepts and promotional activity to maximise awareness, attendance and engagement
Sourcing, briefing and managing external suppliers and vendors




Negotiating costs and building strong supplier relationships
Preparing, managing and tracking event budgets and ensuring costs remain on track
Managing events on the day and ensuring everything runs smoothly
Troubleshooting issues as they arise and managing last-minute changes with a calm, solutions-focused approach
Reporting on attendance, feedback and outcomes following events
Identifying opportunities to improve the firm's events program and bring fresh ideas to how events are delivered
About you
You may currently be working as an Events Advisor, Events Coordinator or in a similar role and be ready to step into a standalone Events Manager position.
Ideally, you'll have experience within a law firm and understand the dynamics of a partnership environment. You'll be comfortable working with partners and senior stakeholders, managing competing priorities and influencing without direct authority.
Just as importantly, you'll enjoy being hands on. This isn't a role where you'll simply oversee an events strategy from a distance. You'll be involved in the detail and will take ownership of making each event successful.
You'll bring:
Solid experience planning and delivering events from start to finish, ideally within a law firm




An understanding of the partnership model and how to work effectively with partners and senior stakeholders
Strong organisational and project management skills
Confidence managing multiple events, deadlines and competing priorities
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Experience managing event budgets, suppliers and external vendors
Strong attention to detail and a practical, solutions-focused approach
The confidence to work autonomously and take ownership of the firm's events function
A proactive approach and the ability to bring ideas to the table
A willingness to get into the detail and be hands-on throughout the event lifecycle
Flexibility to work occasional events outside standard business hours
Why join?
You'll join a growing national law firm with an energetic and cooperative culture, where marketing and business development are closely connected to the firm's broader growth strategy.
As the standalone events specialist, you'll have genuine ownership of your area and the opportunity to shape how the firm's events program evolves.
You'll also have access to:
Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
Learning, development and mentoring opportunities
Performance-based rewards and incentive programs
Paid parental leave and additional milestone leave
Education assistance and an Employee Assistance Program
Corporate discounts and novated leasing
Opportunities to contribute to community and pro-bono initiatives
A collaborative environment where new ideas are encouraged and people are given the opportunity to make an impact
