We're Hiring: Event Planner / Event Manager / Senior Event Manager

At Funco, we create events that bring people together! From family days and carnivals to dinner events, community celebrations, corporate gatherings, and customised experiences that are designed to be fun, memorable, and well executed.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced Event Planner / Event Manager / Senior Event Manager to join our team.

•⁠ ⁠Preparing proposals, costing support, timelines, and planning documents

•⁠ ⁠Coordinating with vendors, suppliers, designers, operations, and production teams

•⁠ ⁠Managing event schedules, deadlines, logistics, and on-site requirements

•⁠ ⁠Supporting sales conversations and identifying opportunities to grow accounts

•⁠ ⁠Understanding basic event technical needs, including audio, visual, lighting, staging, tentage, décor, environmental build-ups, and site flow

•⁠ ⁠Supporting event execution as a show producer, including pre-event show rundowns, on-site event cues, programme flow, team player to technical vendors and talents, as well as post-event evaluation

•⁠ ⁠Ensuring events are planned properly and delivered smoothly

What We're Looking For

•⁠ ⁠Ideally 3 to 4 years or more of hands-on experience in event management, event sales, client servicing, or event operations

•⁠ ⁠Experience in family days, carnivals, corporate events, dinner events, community events, or agency-style event work will be an advantage

•⁠ ⁠Strong communication and coordination skills

•⁠ ⁠Able to manage clients professionally and understand their needs

•⁠ ⁠Comfortable with proposal writing, timelines, deadlines, and multi-tasking

•⁠ ⁠Organised, responsible, and able to follow through

•⁠ ⁠Creative, practical, and willing to learn continuously

•⁠ ⁠A team player who enjoys working in a fast-moving and fun environment

•⁠ ⁠Diploma/Degree in Events, Hospitality, Marketing, Communications, Business, or related fields will be preferred, but relevant industry experience matters most

Who This Role Is Best For

This role is best suited for someone who has already been in the events industry and is ready to contribute quickly.

We are looking for someone who can plug in, play fast, support the team, grow accounts, create ideas, and help Funco continue our expansion journey.

At Funco, we are not just in the business of rentals; we are building a stronger event experience company. We want people who enjoy creating joy, managing details, solving problems, and delivering events that clients and guests remember.

We value team players who bring the right gumption, creativity, and drive to create meaningful work and add value to the entire team. Good performance and strong contribution will be recognised and rewarded as we grow together.

If you are passionate about events, enjoy working with people, and want to be part of a growing company that believes in fun, creativity, and teamwork, we would love to hear from you.
