Event Director & Facilitator Job in Onehunga, Auckland - SEEK

\n Build a career creating experiences people never forget.\n

One week we're helping hundreds of graduates connect at a major conference. The next we're facilitating a leadership challenge for one of New Zealand's biggest organisations. Then we're loading a trailer, jumping on a plane, and delivering an event somewhere completely different.

\n

No two days are ever the same.

\n

At Team Up Events, we don't just organise events. We create experiences that strengthen teams, spark conversations, and leave lasting memories.

\n

We're looking for our next Junior Event Director & Facilitator to join our Auckland team.

\n

This is more than an event job. It's an opportunity to build a long-term career with New Zealand's leading corporate team event company.

Who We Are\n

For more than 15 years, Team Up Events has been helping organisations build stronger teams through engaging team bonding, team building and team development experiences.

\n

We're proud to work with many of New Zealand's leading organisations, including KPMG, Mainfreight, Foodstuffs, Zespri, Toyota, IAG, Genesis, City Fitness, ASB and many more.

\n

We're also the exclusive New Zealand partner of Catalyst Global, the world's largest network of team building providers operating across more than 50 countries.

\n

Despite our growth, we're still a close-knit team that genuinely enjoys working together, challenging each other, and celebrating each other's success.

Why We're Recruiting\n

The person currently in this role joined us straight out of university almost three years ago.

\n

Since then, they've grown into confidently leading major corporate events across New Zealand, built fantastic client relationships, and become an integral part of our team.

\n

They're now heading overseas for their next adventure (with our full support), and we're excited to find the next person ready to follow a similar journey.

\n

If you're motivated, coachable and love working with people, we'll give you every opportunity to grow.

What You'll Be Doing\n

This is a varied role where you'll learn every aspect of delivering exceptional corporate events.

\n

You'll be involved in:

\n

\n
• Designing memorable corporate team experiences
\n
• Preparing and coordinating events throughout New Zealand
\n
• Facilitating engaging events for groups ranging from 10 to 500+ participants
\n
• Building strong relationships with clients before, during and after events
\n
• Leading and supporting casual event staff
\n
• Setting up, packing down and maintaining event equipment
\n
• Travelling throughout New Zealand to deliver events
\n
• Learning our exclusive range of internationally licensed programmes
\n
• Contributing ideas that help us continually improve what we do
\n

\n

Some days you'll be standing on stage with a microphone in front of hundreds of people. Other days you'll be organising equipment, solving logistical challenges, or loading a trailer.

\n

You’ll need to enjoy both.

Who We're Looking For\n

Experience is great. Attitude is even better. We're looking for someone who:

\n

\n
• Loves working with people and building relationships
\n
• Has energy, confidence and a positive outlook
\n
• Is comfortable speaking in front of groups (or excited to learn)
\n
• Is highly organised and enjoys being prepared
\n
• Can think on their feet when things don't go exactly to plan
\n
• Is willing to roll up their sleeves and help wherever needed
\n
• Wants to continually learn and improve
\n
• Enjoys being part of a team that has each other's back
\n
