Events ACT delivers some of Canberra's best-known events and festivals and supports a diverse calendar of experiences that help make Canberra a great place to live, work and visit.
We're looking for an experienced marketing and communications leader to lead a small, high-performing team responsible for growing audiences, promoting events and connecting people with experiences across Canberra. You'll oversee campaigns, content, media and digital channels, provide expert marketing and communications advice, and build strong relationships with industry, government and community stakeholders. This is a role for someone who combines strategic thinking with practical delivery. You'll provide clear direction, make sound decisions and remain actively engaged in supporting the team's work.
In return, you'll have the opportunity to shape how people discover and experience Canberra's event life while contributing to one of the city's most visible portfolios.
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

The successful applicant may be required to undertake occasional interstate travel and represent the ACT at national forums, working groups and negotiations. Opportunities for flexible working options could include hybrid working, being a combination of working from home, designated office based and FlexiSpace working locations across the ACT, part‑time hours, job‑sharing, flexible start, and finish times.
Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service. The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved.
