About Us:
Nestled on breathtaking Rottnest Island, The Lodge Wadjemup has quickly become a standout destination. Recognised by Time Magazine as one of the World’s Greatest Places for 2025, we are now approaching our first full summer since launching last December.

Our new purpose-built function centre allows us to deliver exceptional conferences, meetings, and group events - creating seamless, memorable experiences for our guests in one of the world’s most beautiful locations. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and we’re looking for a hands-on Conference & Events Manager to join us as we continue to grow and refine our offering.

• Lead on-the-day event execution, providing guidance and support to staff.

• Coordinate with suppliers and vendors for AV, décor, transport, and other event requirements.

• Conduct post-event reviews, capture client feedback, and maintain a database of client preferences and operational learnings.

• Uphold health, safety, compliance, and sustainability standards across all events.

Required Qualifications & Experience:

• Proven experience managing corporate or group events in hotels, resorts, or conference venues.

• Strong operational, organisational, and multi-tasking skills.

• Experience managing budgets, schedules, and vendor relationships.

• Excellent communication, leadership, and client liaison skills.

• WA Approved Manager's Certificate

• Food Handler's Certificate

• National Police Clearance

• Flexibility to work weekends, evenings, and public holidays as required.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Live and work on beautiful Rottnest Island with a private room offered for a low weekly rent that includes all utilities.

• Be part of a collaborative, professional, and high-energy team.

• Make a tangible impact by shaping the island’s premier corporate and group events offering.
