For more than 20 years, KordaMentha has supported businesses through some of their most complex matters and opportunities. Founder owned and led; we are an advisory firm that helps corporations, financiers, lawyers, private investors and government clients to grow, protect and recover value.

That’s what we do, but it’s how we do this that makes us who we are.

Proudly independent, strategically local, and with a bias for action to get things done, we focus on doing what is right by our clients, our people, and the wider community. Our track record shows that we help navigate the best path forward in challenging times, and do so across cities, regions and territories.

In the most stressful or demanding environments, we continue to drive change where it really counts.

The Marketing & Design team is responsible for developing and delivering initiatives that strengthen KordaMentha’s brand, enhance market visibility, and deepen engagement with clients, prospects, and the broader business community. The team oversees a diverse portfolio spanning brand and design, media and communications, thought leadership, digital marketing, events, sponsorships, memberships, partnerships, and stakeholder engagement.

Reporting to the Associate Director, Marketing & Design, the Marketing Associate provides high quality administrative, operational, and project coordination support across the team. The role also takes ownership of the day-to-day management of the firm’s sponsorship, membership, and partnership portfolio, ensuring activities are delivered effectively and relationships are maintained to a high standard.

Working with a high degree of autonomy, the Marketing Associate manages a range of defined activities and projects, proactively identifies and responds to operational requirements, maintains effective communication with stakeholders, and escalates risks or decisions where appropriate.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and coordinate the firm's sponsorships, memberships and partnerships, ensuring commitments, benefits, renewals and stakeholder expectations are effectively delivered.
• Act as the primary liaison between external partners and internal stakeholders, building strong relationships and ensuring timely communication and follow-through.
• Coordinate the delivery of sponsorship and partnership benefits, including events, speaking opportunities, brand exposure, content contributions, training opportunities and hospitality.
• Identify and promote opportunities for the business to maximise the value of sponsorship, membership and partnership investments.
• Monitor participation, engagement and return on investment, providing insights and recommendations to support renewal and investment decisions.
• Coordinate contracts, approvals, invoices and associated documentation in accordance with firm policies and processes.
• Provide day-to-day administrative and operational support to the Marketing & Design team, ensuring work is delivered accurately, efficiently and on time.
• Maintain team plans, marketing calendars, project trackers, contact databases and other key documentation to support effective team operations.
• Coordinate meetings, agendas, action items and follow-ups, ensuring stakeholders remain informed and accountable for agreed outcomes.
• Drive continuous improvement across marketing processes and workflows while collaborating with internal teams to resolve issues, improve efficiency and support successful project delivery.

• Experience coordinating sponsorships, memberships, partnerships, events or executive stakeholders will be highly regarded.
• A tertiary qualification in marketing, communications, commerce, business or a related field is useful but not essential where equivalent experience is demonstrated.
• Strong administrative experience gained in a corporate, professional services, executive support, marketing or similarly fast paced environment.
• Demonstrated project coordination or project management skills, including managing multiple deadlines and stakeholders at once.
• A practical, service oriented approach and a willingness to take ownership of detailed administrative work.
• Excellent organisation, attention to detail and follow-through.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confidence dealing with senior internal stakeholders and external partners.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to assess whether activity is delivering useful value.
• Sound judgement, initiative and confidence to progress work independently while knowing when to seek direction.
