Circular Quay, Sydney | Full time | Hybrid
$85,000–$100,000 OTE + super, with uncapped commission

This is not your dream job.

Good. Dream jobs go to people who have already proven something. This is where you prove it.

Most job ads tell you how amazing the role is. We’d rather tell you the truth and let you decide.

What the job actually is

You’ll be on the phone selling seats at our conferences (in our world, attendees are called delegates). Most of the people you call have already shown interest: they’ve downloaded a brochure, enquired on our website, come to an event before, or been found by our research team. Your job is to reach them first and turn that interest into a booking. They’re still senior, busy, sceptical and very good at saying no. HR directors. Mining executives. People running Indigenous health programs and housing providers. Women leading large organisations. A normal day is around 40 calls and emails across several events, each with its own target. You’ll still hear “not interested” more often than you’d like.

Some days will be hard. We won’t pretend otherwise.

So why would anyone want it?

Because selling is the skill every business runs on, and almost nobody starting out is genuinely good at it. Learn to get a sceptical senior leader to say yes on the phone and you will never be short of work again.

Because the scoreboard is honest. You’ll know every single day whether you’re getting better.

Because what you sell matters. Alongside our commercial events we run conferences on Indigenous suicide prevention, Indigenous health, housing and homelessness, mental health and women in leadership, and those come first for us. When you fill a seat, someone walks into a room that changes how they do their job.

And because of where it leads. Give it two or three years. If you ever leave, we want your next employer to ring us for a reference and hear one thing: we tried everything to keep them.

Who we’re hunting

We don’t need a perfect CV.



We need someone who already behaves like this.

- You prepare when nobody is watching. Before you dial, you know the organisation, the person, and exactly which session on our agenda solves their problem. The call is the easy part.
- You move fast. A brochure download at 10am gets a call well before lunch. Interest cools quickly, so you get there first.
- You’d rather hear the truth than a compliment. You want your calls reviewed. You ask “what would you have done differently?” and you mean it.
- You out-learn everyone. Our conference producers build each program. Your aim is to know it second only to them, and better than anyone else in the building. When buyers push back, you tell producers and marketing why.
- A no at 9:05 doesn’t ruin the 9:10 call. Frustration is normal. Letting it run your day isn’t.
- You keep a clean pipeline. Every call is logged and every lead has a next step in Salesforce. That’s how you know who to call tomorrow.
- You use AI to prepare faster, not to think for you. You know what to ask it, you check what it tells you, and you know it can’t read a person’s voice on a live call. That part is you.
- You play the long game. You’ve seen the get-rich-quick reels and you’re not buying it. You’d rather spend ten years getting dangerously positive at something real.
- You can wait for the reward, and you’re hungry for it. Commission motivates you. You just understand that the work comes first.

Please don’t apply if

- You’re holding out for the perfect job before you’ve proven anything.
- Feedback feels like an attack.




- You need someone to tell you what to learn next.
- You think success happens in a 30-second video.

What you get

- On-target earnings (OTE) of $85,000–$100,000 + super. You’ll earn a base salary plus uncapped commission, so there’s no ceiling on what you can make. We’ll take you through the base and the commission plan at interview.
- Hybrid: three days a week in our Circular Quay office, two from home.
- Regular coaching on your own calls, and a front-row seat to how conferences across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore are built and sold. Two of our values matter most in this seat: Resilience, Adaptability and Commitment to Deliver, and Have the Courage to Have a Go. We mean the part about no lazy finishes.

Who can apply

Graduates, career changers and anyone starting out in sales are welcome. We encourage applications from people of all ages and backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people with disability. You’ll need the right to work in Australia.

How to apply: the application is the job

Don’t start with your CV. Start by doing the job.

1. Pick any upcoming event on aventedge.com.
2. Record a voice note of up to 90 seconds selling one ticket to one specific kind of person. Tell us who they are, why they belong in that room, and what you’d say when they tell you they’re too busy.
3. In two or three sentences, tell us about something you prepared for that nobody ever saw.
4. Send all three, plus your CV, to [JULIAN: application email].

Rather write your pitch than record it? Send it as text instead. If you need any other adjustment to our application or interview process, tell us in your email and we’ll sort it.

We listen to every voice note before we open a single CV.

Your privacy

We use your CV, voice note and answers only to assess your application for this role. We store them securely and handle them in line with our privacy policy.
