Our great friends at Quest Events are one of the best organisations to work for on the Northern Beaches.
Centrally located in the heart of Manly, they offer top culture, flexible working arrangements, and a business model that will see you contribute to the team’s success. They are hiring the next legend to join their team.
Quest Events produces high-impact, content-driven events across energy, sustainability, procurement, leadership, and beyond. They are known for the quality of their speakers and the depth of our programs. Visit them at www.questevents.com.au to find out more.
They are looking for a senior leader to take full ownership of their non-energy events portfolio.
This is a genuine leadership role — part GM, part creative director, part entrepreneur. You’ll inherit a portfolio of established annual events and have real latitude to develop new ones from scratch. You’ll own the P&L, lead a team of talented producers, and be the strategic heartbeat of the division.
The Role
- Own and grow a portfolio of B2B conferences — setting strategic direction and holding full P&L responsibility
- Lead a team of conference producers, elevating the quality of content and programming across every event
- Identify and develop new event concepts, taking them from idea to commercially viable launch
- Become a genuine subject matter expert in your event verticals — sustainability, procurement, leadership, and operational excellence
- Work cross-functionally with marketing, sponsorship, and operations to execute events that consistently punch above their weight
Who Quest Events are Looking For:
You’ve built a career in B2B conferences— whether as a senior producer, conference director, or in a commercial role like sponsorship or content strategy. Critically, you understand how the model works: what makes an event profitable, what makes a program compelling, and what makes delegates come back year after year.
You’re a strong writer and editor with high editorial standards. You know how to brief a team, mentor junior producers, and still get your hands dirty when needed. You think commercially but you care deeply about quality — and you don’t see those as competing priorities.
You’ll likely have:
- 5+ years in B2B conference production or event management, with at least some leadership experience
- A track record of developing or significantly growing a commercial conference
- Strong understanding of sponsorship and delegate revenue models
- Sharp copywriting and content instincts
- An entrepreneurial mindset — you see gaps in markets and get excited about filling them
Why Quest?
We’re a tight, high-performing team with a strong reputation in the Australian market. This role offers real ownership, genuine creative input, and the chance to shape a division — not just manage one. You’ll work directly with the MD and have a seat at the leadership table.
Based in Sydney with competitive salary and performance incentives. Hybrid work available
