Koala is a global furniture brand bringing Australian design and innovation to the world.
We create forward-thinking products that solve problems for people and homes everywhere, driven by our purpose to make the world a more comfortable place.
We've always believed in doing things differently, whether in the way we develop products, how we do people and culture, or the way we bring the brand to life.
That mindset has fuelled our growth, helping us disrupt categories in ways that are creative, bold and often unexpected.
While we're a household name in Australia, our journey on the global stage is only just beginning.
Since launching in ****, our furniture has reached homes across Australia, Japan, the US and the UK.
As a B Corp-certified, customer-obsessed, and data-led company, we're committed to revolutionising furniture for generations to come through design, innovation, and meaningful sustainability.
Role Description This role is the single source of truth for event and experience rigour at Koala.
Reporting to the Global Head of Brand, you'll guide how Koala shows up in real life across Australia, the US, the UK and Japan: global product launches, pop-ups and brand activations, showroom and retail events, media and influencer moments, and the internal moments that bring Koalas together.
This is a supervisory and advisory role, built for someone who has executed plenty of events and knows what good looks like.
You won't always be running events end to end.
Often our markets and their PR partners will deliver 60 to 70% of the work, and your job is to fill the gaps: sense-checking plans, timelines and creative deliveries, pressure-testing budgets,



and bringing the rigour that makes the difference on the day.
For smaller events our in-market teams run without agency support, you'll be a consultative service partner.
For multi-market or high-priority moments, you'll lead the task force and own the process from brief to bump-out.
It suits someone who has been in the room, who can spot an inflated budget or a missing milestone at a glance, and who knows when to guide, when to advise and when to roll up their sleeves.
Key Responsibilities Guide and Supervise In-Market Events: Act as the global point of oversight for events led by our in-market teams and their PR and experiential partners, sense-checking plans, timelines, milestones and creative deliveries Hold market teams, PR firms and agencies to the Koala standard on rigour, not just the guest list: clear run sheets, locked milestones and creative delivered on time Fill the gaps as needed, from a missing production timeline to a late supplier, so local teams can focus on what they do best Provide service support to in-market teams running smaller events without agency support, such as influencer dinners and press moments, with guidance on scope, suppliers, logistics and what to allocate Budget Oversight and we're one happy bunch!
