About us
Local Government Managers Australia Queensland (LGMA Queensland) is the peak professional association representing managers and administrators across Queensland's 77 local government councils. As a not-for-profit membership organisation, we support the people who lead and manage local government through advocacy, professional development, member services, events and sector leadership. Our work brings together local government professionals from across Queensland to learn, connect, share knowledge and strengthen the capability of the sector. We are a small, collaborative team with a strong commitment to our members and an exciting program of work ahead as we continue to strengthen and grow the support we provide to Queensland local government professionals.

About the role
As the Events and Corporate Partnership Manager, you'll take ownership of a diverse and high-profile events calendar, including our Annual Conference, the Women in Local Government Conference, the Inspire Conference, our Awards for Excellence program, and an ongoing series of webinars, forums and skills exchanges.

What a day could look like:

• Design and deliver professional development events that build the leadership, management and technical capability of local government officers across Queensland.

• Run our Awards for Excellence program, including the Awards Gala Networking Event.
• Secure and manage corporate partners across our conferences, programs and events, meeting agreed revenue targets.
• Build genuine relationships across the sector, including with learning and development contacts in councils, to keep attendance and engagement strong.
• Lead a small, capable Events Team.
