Located in the heart of Brisbane city, Sofitel Brisbane Central is known for its sophisticated luxury accommodation, world-class dining, and impeccable hospitality. The hotel’s 416 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites offer refined French luxury, and with personalised service that comes from the heart, this is Brisbane’s best accommodation experience. The hotel also features elegant and indulgent food and beverage outlets, an executive lounge, two fitness centres, a day spa and fully flexible event spaces for up to 1100 delegates.

As Conference & Events Executive, you will play a pivotal role in managing incoming sales enquiries, preparing tailored proposals and contracts, and delivering seamless end-to-end planning for weddings, social events, and gala dinners. You will also support the coordination of conferences and incentive events transitioned from the Sales team, ensuring a consistent and high-quality client experience across all event types.

This role is responsible for owning the client journey for social and gala events—from initial enquiry through contracting, detailed planning, and handover to Event Operations, through to post-event follow-up. In parallel, you will assist in coordinating conference and incentive programs, contributing to their smooth and successful delivery.

Working collaboratively with Sales, Banquets, and operational teams, you will help drive exceptional guest experiences while maximising conversion, revenue, and client satisfaction in line with brand standards.

The position requires strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with responsibility for preparing and managing comprehensive event documentation, including proposals, contracts, and Banquet Event Orders. You will maintain accurate systems and records, coordinate suppliers and internal stakeholders, and ensure all financial processes, including invoicing, are completed efficiently and accurately, while consistently meeting KPIs and budget targets.

What you will bring to the role:

• Proven experience in events, hospitality, or sales coordination within a hotel or similar environment
• Demonstrated success in converting enquiries and achieving revenue targets
• Experience with event documentation, contracts, and financial processes (invoicing, deposits, reconciliation)
• Proficiency in Opera, Delphi, or similar systems
• Excellent organisation, time management, and attention to detail
• Strong communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, client-focused environment
• Passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences
• Professional, detail-oriented, and highly organised
• Proactive, solutions-focused, and adaptable under pressure
• Strong team player with the ability to work independently
