About the Role
VenuesWest has an exciting opportunity to join the new Perth Park team!
The Manager Venue Delivery & Operations is responsible for establishing and leading all back-of-house operations, precinct logistics and site management functions across Perth Park. This role plays a critical leadership position in the transition of the precinct from construction through to full operational readiness and into live operations.
During the pre-operational phase, the role is responsible for designing and implementing the operational backbone of the precinct. This includes establishing the back-of-house operating model, logistics and site access frameworks, contractor delivery models, and the technical and operational specifications required to support event delivery. The position also leads the development of key operational enablers including risk management, emergency management, operational procedures, and the coordination of statutory approvals and compliance requirements necessary to enable safe and compliant venue operations.
Once operational, the role transitions to the leadership and delivery of all venue operations, infrastructure coordination and precinct logistics across a diverse event and activation calendar. This includes managing contractor ecosystems, ensuring legislative and regulatory compliance, overseeing venue presentation and asset integration, and coordinating all back-of-house delivery requirements including bump-in/out, production logistics, traffic, parking and security. The role works in close partnership with event delivery, commercial and asset management teams to ensure safe, efficient and high-quality outcomes across all modes of operation.
This is a unique opportunity to shape how a major multi-use precinct functions from the ground up, embedding the systems, standards and operational interfaces that will define its long-term success.
This is a permanent, full time position. Whilst the position will be based at Perth Park, mobility may be required between the portfolio of facilities.
Due to the nature of the work undertaken, this position may be exposed to traumatic events in the workplace. VenuesWest is committed to proactively ensuring the psychosocial safety and health of our workers through risk control and provision of services to support workers exposed to and impacted by traumatic events.
