  • Build a VIP ecosystem of senior marketers, ecommerce leaders, and future-facing collaborators.
  • Create unique, high-touch experiences that deepen loyalty and differentiate Pattern in the market.
  • Maintain a forward-looking 6–12 month calendar of events, sponsorships, and partnerships.
  • Manage budgets, timelines, and relationships with suppliers and venues.
  • Ensure tight CRM integration for all events and partnerships (e.g. tagging, tracking, lead flow).
  • Support award submissions when aligned with major events, campaigns, or partner programs.

How will my success be measured?

  • Successful planning and execution of high-quality events on time and within budget
  • Growth in strategic partnerships and delivery of joint marketing initiatives

  • Increased brand visibility through sponsorships, speaking engagements, and co-branded content
  • Strong attendance, engagement, and satisfaction across owned and partnered events

What will I need to thrive in this role?

  • 3+ years’ experience in B2B event marketing, partnerships, or field marketing.
  • Proven ability to run professional events end-to-end, both in-person and virtual.

  • A commercial mindset: you know how to link brand and partnership activity to business results.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Familiarity with CRM and marketing tools (e.g. HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce).
  • Australian work rights (e.g. citizen or permanent resident).

What is the team like?

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
