Responsibilities
- Plan and run ShopMy's events in Australia from start to finish, including brand partner events, sponsored activations, supper clubs, and creator dinners.
- Own vendors, guest lists, RSVPs, invitations, run-of-show, and on-site logistics for events.
- Find and reach out to creators, handle scheduling of meetings, coffees, and demos, and maintain creator relationships.
