About the role

Souths Leagues Club is looking for a capable, organised Events Manager to own the delivery of our club events from start to finish. You’ll be the central point of coordination between our internal teams, suppliers, sponsors and community partners, making sure every event runs smoothly and to a high standard.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys juggling multiple events at once, building relationships and getting things done independently. You’ll have real autonomy to shape how our events run, with opportunities to get involved in football and game day events as the role develops.

What you’ll do

- Manage end-to-end delivery of all leagues club events, from planning through to post-event review
- Act as the main contact between internal teams, stakeholders, suppliers and partners
- Recruit, train and lead the events team, building consistent, high-standard delivery
- Coordinate staff, contractors and volunteers, giving clear direction so deliverables are met on time
- Oversee calendars, timelines and logistics across multiple concurrent events
- Handle financial administration including invoicing, receivables tracking and supplier payments




- Build strong relationships with sponsors and stakeholders, and engage directly with student programs to drive participation and outcomes
- Maintain Excel-based systems (CRM, scheduling and reporting) to track events, stakeholders and outcomes, and use them to keep improving

About you

- Proven experience in events, hospitality, venue or club coordination
- Solid organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing deadlines and fine detail
- Confident leading and motivating staff, contractors and volunteers
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Comfortable with financial administration (invoicing, tracking payments)
- Proficient in Excel, or keen to build and maintain your own systems
- Self-starter who can work independently and take ownership
- Current RSA (RMLV preferred), Blue Card, and driver’s licence
- Availability for evenings and weekends as events require

Why join us

- A varied role with genuine ownership and autonomy
- The chance to work with a community-focused club and a supportive leadership team
