? Sydney | Full-time, permanent
? Hybrid: 3 days a week in the office
✈️ Some travel for client meetings, supplier visits and the occasional strategic event, including interstate
You know the moment. Guests walk in, stop for half a second, and reach for their phones. ?
That moment doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone looked at a standard catering order and said, "Let's lift this. Add some height, bring in florals, change the tableware, make it feel special."
At Hampr, we bring great food and genuine hospitality into workplaces across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, through a marketplace of independent caterers, pop-ups and hospitality partners. We already deliver plenty of events for the workplace teams we work with every day. Inside those same companies, though, is a much bigger world of client launches, brand moments, offsites and VIP dinners, where "nice" isn't enough.
We're building a new events vertical, and we're looking for someone with the eye and the commercial drive to lead it.
What you'll do
- Own complex, bespoke and VIP events for our corporate clients, from first conversation to signed booking
- Look at a quote and know when it needs to be elevated, guiding clients towards the styling, tableware, risers, florals and hire that create the wow
- Help clients plan their events calendar for the year, bringing ideas for what a great event looks like before they ask
- Win new event business from EAs, marketing and events teams, both inside our existing customers and at recent companies
- Design menus and service formats that fit the occasion, with meticulous attention to dietary and allergen details
- Cost events properly, negotiate with suppliers and protect margin
- Review and elevate the quotes our three-person offshore team builds, coach them on what great looks like, and help launch platform-assisted quoting
Our suppliers deliver on the day, so you won't be running events on the floor. Your impact comes earlier, in the quote, the concept and the plan. For a handful of strategic clients, you'll be the face of Hampr on the day.
How the role grows
Your first 12 months are about building, with no hard sales targets. You'll define what a Hampr event looks like, become our face for events and win your first new business. From there, the goal is a vertical that pays for itself, and then a team around you.
You'll bring
- 5+ years in hospitality, catering, venue or events sales, with a track record of winning corporate event business
- A portfolio of beautiful, elevated events, ideally across a range of venues, brands or clients
- A strong sense of styling and presentation, and how to bring a look together on a budget
- Real food and hospitality knowledge, including food safety and allergen awareness
- B2B sales skills (pipeline, negotiation, costing, closing) and comfort with CRM and quoting tools
Bonus points: a network among Sydney EAs, corporate events teams, stylists or hire companies, or experience at a luxury venue, events agency, high-end caterer or styling studio.
