Job title: Event Marketing Specialist (Freelance)

Location: Sydney, Australia or Auckland, New Zealand

Workplace type: Hybrid

Employment type: Contract

We’re looking for experienced Event Marketers to join our freelance network and work with us on client projects.

TEMBO partners with some of the world’s leading event organisers, publishers and media businesses, placing experienced marketers into projects across their portfolios. As we grow in Australia and New Zealand, we’re bringing more freelancers into our network so we can match the right person to each brief. This isn’t a single role. It’s an introduction to ongoing project work, with a range of roles to choose from.

The Work

- Own and deliver multi-channel campaigns across email, digital, paid and social for B2B and B2C exhibitions and conferences
- Drive visitor, delegate and attendee acquisition against commercial targets
- Review, revise or build strategic marketing plans, including tracking progress, spotting where performance can be optimised, and acting on it
- Lead on brand positioning and stakeholder management across client teams
- Lead on digital, CRM, marketing automation and campaign data in service of commercial goals
- Deliver exhibitor marketing and retention programmes
- Step into interim leadership where a client needs senior cover at pace





Typical engagements include senior leadership cover, portfolio rebrands, marketing strategy refreshes, go-to-market planning, and hands-on marketing input.

What We’re Looking For

- Proven event marketing delivery from within an organiser, publisher or media business, where you’ve had a target, a P&L; to support, and a date in the diary that doesn’t move
- Experience managing full event cycles and delivering campaigns end to end
- Senior Manager, Head of Marketing or Director level experience
- Comfortable dropping into an existing team and getting up to speed fast
- Set up, or ready to set up, as an independent contractor with your own tax arrangements in place

Agency, brand-side and exhibitor-side marketing each bring different strengths, but our clients are usually looking for organiser-side experience. Please make your organiser-side experience explicit in your CV.

Why TEMBO

You keep your independence. We bring the projects, the client relationships, and a community of people doing the same work. Our network hears about new briefs before they’re advertised, and we support contractors with onboarding, training opportunities and project support that continues after you’re placed.
